Hello from Saddleback!

A first look at the Saddleback Small Groups conference

by Sam O'Neal

When I left the SmallGroups.com headquarters in Chicago, IL, it was 20 degrees outside and snowing. Now look at me! I'm at the Saddleback Small Groups Conference in San Diego, California, and as you can see from the photo, we've got palm trees and waterfalls. I like it.

It's time for an authentic moment--my first post about this conference was supposed to be much better. I spent most of yesterday afternoon walking around Saddleback's campus with my video camera, and I had hoped to provide all of you with a little "video tour" of the church and the conference. I don't mind telling you that the visuals were great, and I was extremely witty and informative.

Unfortunately, I am experiencing some technical difficulties when it comes to getting the video converted to a usable file and posted to this blog. So, pictures will have to do for now. I'll get things figured out with the video when I get back to the office next week.

Until then, I'll be updating you with some of the things that are going on around here. I'm particularly excited about something called the "Legend's Lunch" that's happening in an hour or so.

Stay tuned!

Sam, I'm disappointed that I couldn't make it to Saddleback's conference this year, but I look forward to your updates and highlights--and video! Thanks for offering that.
