Paseo Weekly 1.4.12 | Welcome 2012

My good friend Aaron Monts (who is Lead Pastor of ikon in San Francisco), put this up on his blog the other day. It's something Steve Jobs said & had a commercial produced to these words:

Here’s to the crazy ones. The misfits. The rebels. The troublemakers. The round pegs in the square holes.

The ones who see things differently. They’re not fond of rules. And they have no respect for the status quo. You can quote them, disagree with them, glorify or vilify them.

About the only thing you can’t do is ignore them. Because they change things. They invent. They imagine. They heal. They explore. They create. They inspire. They push the human race forward.

Maybe they have to be crazy.

How else can you stare at an empty canvas and see a work of art? Or sit in silence and hear a song that’s never been written? Or gaze at a red planet and see a laboratory on wheels?

We make tools for these kinds of people.

While some see them as the crazy ones, we see genius. Because the people who are crazy enough to think they can change the world, are the ones who do.

I love that last line...Because the people who are crazy enough to think they can change the world, are the ones who do. My hope & prayer for you this year is to be a crazy one.

Love you guys,

Greg

Paseo Kids | Pasito
This Sunday, January 8, 2012, we will be incorporating a new program called PasitoKids (the –ito to distinguish the little ones from the big ones. I know, it’s pretty clever!). This program will provide an environment for children who are a little too advanced to hang out in the nursery with the babies, yet do not quite want the amount of structure that is the environment for the older kids in the PaseoKids K-5th ministry. This will be primarily for kiddos 2-4 years of age. There will be singing, playing, a short structured time of teaching, & age appropriate games & crafts! We can't wait to get this kicked off & rolling. If you have any questions OR even better, IF YOU'D LIKE TO VOLUNTEER (notice the not so subtle hint :-)), please contact Adam Moore.

Missional Communities
We will be launching 3 (potentially 4) Missional Communities the week of January 17th. Missional Communities are medium sized groups made up of 4-5 Paseo Homes who join together around a Christ-centered mission. We will be sharing more of those 'missions' as we move forward & how you can participate/join. Looking forward to the next steps. If you have questions, please contact Greg Hunt.
