Mike's 90 Day Goals (July - Sept) Revised

Currently we are going through a 6 month dvd / discussion series, The Quest for Authentic Manhood. During this time, my time will be able to be somewhat shifted to be able to take a look and review other areas and processes used in the group.

Goal: To clarify the vision for First Assembly of God Honor Bound and to examine ways I can lead more effectively.

July Action Steps:
1. Work with my team to host the Honor Bound Family Fun Time, July 22 and 23 at Cottonwood Camp Ground.

Worked with the team as mentioned - there were a few noon hours and evenings spent getting all the misc. items together. On Fri. night I was only able to make it the last hour due to work related issues. The feedback concerning the event is based on what I have heard from other people and not personal experience.

2. Meet with Pastor Jeff to talk about the overall vision of Honor Bound - specifically for our church - and seek his input about what strengths and weaknesses he sees in my leadership style.

Pastor Jeff didn't check with me before leaving on vacation - just kidding (I am glad he gets to go). We were busy working on the fun weekend and Pastor left that Sunday to go on vacation. Will have to meet up with him when he gets back.

3. Identify three regular Honor Bound participants that I can talk to (one each month) for input about how they feel the Quest for Authentic Manhood series and the meetings in general are going. Meet with one person when we're 3 weeks into the study.

I have picked out Jeff Bayless, Dennis James, and Fred Dehring as people I would like to meet / talk with. I did talk with Jeff.

4. Start to write down some ideas about a written vision statement for Honor Bound.

I have written down a few ideas but there is still a long ways to go for this item.

August Action Steps:
From July Point number 2. I did meet with Pastor Jeff and we had a good discussion. The vision for Honor Bound is something that does need to be worked on, but we felt we should hold off a little bit until the overall church vision / process is completed.

1. Meet with Taylor O'Bryan (fellow HB leader) to talk about vision statement draft and seek input on how I could better support him as a leader. Scheduling did not work out. Will be an item picked up in September.
2. Visit with a couple of families who attended the family fun time to get some feedback about the event. File it so we can have some ideas to help improve it if we decide to do it again. Did visit with some folks that attended the event and received good feedback.
3. Visit with another Honor Bound participant to get feedback. Ask about the meeting time change. Got to have ice cream with Dennis James. He is one of our newer members in HB and started shortly before the DVD series so he has seen some of the "regular" meetings. The feedback was very positive and he is really enjoying the DVD series. Due to his work schedule, the meeting time for him works out good.

September Action Steps:
From Aug point number 1 - meeting with Taylor. We did meet in September and had a really good discusion. Ideas were brought forth that will definitely be a part of the vision statement for the HB group.
1. Have a completed, updated vision statement for Honor Bound. Due to the overall church vision team meetings, we are holding off on the vision statement for HB until the overall church vision statement is completed, as per Pastor Jeff.
2. Start planning and promoting the fall car care clinic. Visit with John Kidney about the car care clinic processes, document it, and have it on file at the church. Saturday October 22 is the date for the fall 2011 car care clinic. John Kidney is the tech coordinator, Pastor Randy is scheduling appointments, and announcements have been placed in the bulletin. Promotion will continue up until the event. Our refreshment committee will need to be worked out, but things as a whole seem to be coming together.
3. Visit with another Honor Bound participant to get feedback. I have talked to Fred concerning my request and allowing him some time to think about it. Our meeting will be taking place within the next couple of days.
