Web Site Navigation
Friday, July 27th, 2007Okay so I have been thinking about our navigation on the LifeConnection web site for a while now. I’ve really liked the section titled “Connecting” and then the simplicity of using “Love God” “Connect People” “Serve the City” as the way we divide up the sub-nav.

More Than Just The Sydney Bridge Climb
Monday, March 19th, 2007Several years ago I spent a month in Sydney, Australia tagging along with a collegiate ministry there that is doing some tremendous things. It was a phenomenal experience on so many different levels and one of the very cool pieces was just spending time in that great city. Now I readily admit that I am [...]

Naming A Church
Tuesday, January 16th, 2007Well, we’re in the middle of trying to figure out a name for the church we’re launching in KC.
