I’m still blogging here at Exponential ’09 in Orlando, Florida. I just got back inside from sitting outside in 80 degree weather for lunch. It was nice to be outside.

My seminar this morning was Rick Howerton on “Selecting a small group system that is right for your culture.” He has served churches as Small Groups Pastor, was a church planter, and now works at a publishing house of small group materials. His outline and powerpoint presentation can be found at serendipityblog.com
It was a good overview of the various ways that churches can have small groups. Then he gave us a way of evaluating the systems and looking at the one that would be best for our particular, or your particular church.

Right now there is an introductory video of a church in Indonesia and Eddy Leo, pastor of a dynamic growin from there is speaking next. After that Bob Roberts will be speaking.

Bob Roberts shared passionately that the American church has a lot to learn from churches around the world and religions around the world.

Now it’s 3 p.m. and Kevin Giddings is speaking on “using the internet to gather, disciple and create community.” The outline will be available as a pdf.
