If you weren’t there today you missed it. 
No seriously you really missed it.
Tony Morgan stopped by Grace Church on his RV Tour.
He delivered some great content.
Sink your teeth into some of his quotes. (I tweeted the entire seminar):
- 75% of people show up to church because someone invited them. @tonymorganlive
- “Is your church over-communicating with its people in terms of marketing?” “In the business world, that is called SPAM.” @tonymorganlive
- “Who do we want people to be? How do we get them there?” @tonymorganlive
- “Which ministry wouldn’t you go to unless you were the pastor?” @tonymorganlive
- Good questions, “What ministry wouldn’t sustain unless it had a platform announcement?” @tonymorganlive
- Tony gave details about the Starbucks study…diffusing your brand….and losing it all. Is your church guilty of this?
