Over at RevGals is Friday Five time and this time its all about lists that we make. Personal… professional… seasonal… and at this time of year, they all collide.
I used to make separate personal and church lists on paper, although I tried to use the same notebook, but that became unproductive as I never seemed to have the notebook handy when I wanted to add something. Enter Google calendar! Google calendar is my friend! I do all my list making on it. If it’s on the calendar, it usually gets done and if it doesn’t get done, it can easily be moved to another date. I can set up recurring tasks, such as the weekly email blast I do to the congregation each week. I can invite my husband to a particular event. Yes, I love my Google calendar!
Some of the things on my list this week:
Getting readers and greeters for the various Christmas Eve services.- Baking.
- Getting ready for our first ‘Pop-Up Christmas Story & Carols’ at a local cafe. (Excited and nervous about that!)
- Writing on over 400 wooden stars and then gluing them to bookmarks I made, to give out on Christmas Eve, (that’s another blog post).
- Proofreading a multitude of bulletins!
My Window on God's World 
How did the pop up nativity in the cafe work out? Thinking of adding that to my list for next year.
It was a lot of fun, mostly folks from my own congregation, but a few who just happened to be there.
Thanks! We’ve done worship in a cafe, but just our own congregation shows up. Seems like this could be a better way of getting others.
