I'm way down south in Valdosta, but I'd be willing to take a trip if the time is right.

I am considering taking a position at a church in NE Atlanta. a million questions about culture shift for me, marketing there, what works and what doesn't.

similar to @joshuawsims, would not begin until mid-summer and not available for the upcoming local lab. bummer.

geek question: any chance anyone would take notes and email them to me?!!

i am stuck.. née nestled in southeast georgia... if you do the geeky thing of taking notes and the even nerdier thing of sending them to casmir-- why not go over board and cc it to me as well.

Casmir, where are you coming from?
Posted 3 months ago. ( permalink )

view photostream

casmir.rocks says:

suburban midwest. near the city, but not in the city.

words that describe our ministries here: conservative, fiscally conscious (um... tight.) contemporary, but not radical, progressive but not aggressive, current but not relevant. our community is multi-cultural, but we are not much.

i sense different expectations from the culture there.

how big will the shock be?!

joshuawsims says:

you might experience some freedom in your artistic endeavors, the kicker is your potential churches vision, and where they are going as a body, and who they want to reach. you said NE Atlanta? what town? i am moving to Lilburn in June, which i guess, is NE Atlanta, just closer to the city than some other areas.

June 6th works...we just may have to do a late afternoon meet up. Hows 6:30pm sound?

RussellBrown says:

6:30 with traffic? though southside is not too bad...

russhutto says:

I might be able to make that happen...but seeing as that's about a 4 hour trek, I'm not sure that "later" in the afternoon is better, UNLESS, I can work in a Braves game or something that night or next day.

Or better yet, what if we shot for a Saturday gathering for lunch? Then I could catch the braves game Friday night (7:30 pm)...

My wife's been promising me a game for my birthday (back in April)...so this would be a great opportunity to make it happen AND meet some of you folks.

looks as if we are moving to Atlanta!

@joshuawsims: we'll be in the lawrenceville/suwanee area. same general area as your church?

looking forward to the _next_ local lab... and maybe a few notes from this one!

drinkin' sweet tea and dreamin' of some place way warmer...

See personally, I'm married with kids. I would rather take a afternoon from work, since this is work related and meet up, you know?

russhutto says:

@Russell, I understand that. I could possibly make it on a Friday, but was just trying to keep the original (evening) time in mind, which I thought would be easier for everyone to just make it a Saturday.

Anyhow. I'm coming up regardless for the Friday night Braves Game on the 6th. I'd love to meet up for a late afternoon lunch/snack (say 2/3 oclockish) if that works.

We should also keep in mind that this IS indeed work related, so any expenses should be reimbursable. Great point, Russell.

good point @russell and ordinary. Im not married nor do I have kids so i will make it work whatever is decided by the majority.

russhutto says:

eh, my budget committee just let me know that at this time a trip to Atlanta is not possible...

in other words, I had a needed discussion with my wife :)

Maybe some time in the future, I can try again.
