I currently have an "old" message from Andy from Drive about momentum on my mind. One of the things that he mentioned (which is totally intuitive, but one of those things we don't always do) is to create an atmosphere of making things new. In particular this:
To cancel regular programming for a while and then bring it back as "new and improved".
I am thinking of doing this for our Wednesday programming for teens called TheGathering. I want to cancel it for 4 weeks during the end of the summer and bring it back the school gets back in.
My question is this: What things do you do to make it new and improved? Rather than just putting rouge on it with new lights, banners, and rearranging the chairs, and stuff like that. How do you make it something that is fresh? Any ideas?
