This week, my wife, Marty, and I had the honor of attending a church planter's retreat sponsored by the Converge Northwest District and held at the beautiful Cannon Beach Christian Conference Center on the rugged Pacific coast in northern Oregon. Read on to discover just a small amount of what was seen and heard at that relaxed gathering. Maybe you and your church can learn from my observations.

This past week, two of my granddaughters, Adia and Kalanie, who play basketball for the Lynden, WA High School Lions, went with their team to the state tournament in Yakima, Washington. I listened on my laptop to their first game and cheered them on from a distance even though they lost to a tough team. Go Lions! And for the last few days, I have been thinking about what can be learned from basketball but applied to the church. Let me share with you some of the lessons in this blog. Read on to find out what I observed and learned summarized in seven lessons.
