In the packet for the sunday school class (apparently, however, we're supposed to call them "connect groups" now) this morning was an announcement that at the beginning of September there will be a banquet with a "motivational speaker" to help the church ramp up the next phase of its building program. This so that all the people at the church who are unaware of the building program will become aware of "how God is working" . . . through the building program. Also, we were urged to sign up for the "Visiting Team" to do the work of going into people's houses to give them the hard sell for pledges, etc.
Thus it begins, as the consultants and motivational speakers and other people from outside the church begin to exert their will. Once the gears start grinding and the machinery really starts working, there's no applying the brakes.
