Under that make four headings: 1) right, 2) wrong, 3) missing, 4) confusing.\u00a0Then, on Sunday, as you notice different things (good and bad), write them down under the appropriate heading. Come Monday, have the campus pastor of each location lead their team in a RWMC meeting, where everyone shares their notes.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Now let\u2019s pretend I\u2019m in that meeting.
