OK, NewSpring Church — Let’s Do This
Have you ever worked on a longterm project? As in putting months of days of (long) hours and thought into making something? It’s a surreal process, and it makes things very difficult to look at objectively.
I started working on new identity concepts for NewSpring Church before I even officially accepted the job, so in reality, I’ve been working on this rebranding for close to nine months. Acts of God and/or appeasement of Godzilla aside, we’re launching the rebrand this coming Sunday, July 13th. We’re also launching a new campus in Greenville, a new message series answering some pointed topical questions and, fingers crossed, the foundation for our new website (with some major 2nd, 3rd and 4th phases after the launch.)
All that to say, posting might be sparse this week, along with sleep, sanity, coherence, the ability to process information and form complete sentences, etc. Of course post-July 13th I’ll actually have some work to show off. A lot of work.
Decent trade-off?
Continuing my fascination with photography, distorted reflective surfaces, and my adorable wife (while walking around in downtown Greenville.) Hello, Downtown Greenville. It’s nice to be here.
Thanks to the help of a few friends today, Mrs. Blankenship and I are nestled in our new casa, a few blocks off Main Street in downtown Greenville. I’m sure the view is lovely, but the upperstate of South Carolina is currently being pounded by torrential rains so it is somewhat difficult to know for sure from my balcony. Nonetheless, happiness.
Also, free wi-fi via the apartment clubhouse next door. I love free things.
Things should return to normal around here on mid-week next week (and by “normal” I of course mean “lots of posts” or some such.) I hope everyone’s holiday have been splendid and restful so far.
Welcome Back to The South
The Blankenships arrived in Anderson, SC (our temporary home until we find a place in Greenville) late Monday night. During the course of our Southbound travels we saw half of the East Coast, many good friends, the depths and heights of New York City, Sloan from Alias, front row (car) seats for a fist fight between two surly gas station attendants at Jersey Turnpike gas stop, and insane winds (ok, we didn’t technically “see” the wind, but it was crazy windy.)
Yesterday we scoped many apartments. Last night we made a decision. Today we sign on the dotted line. We’ll have a week in Dallas for Christmas with Mandy’s family, and then return to The SC to move our stuff into our apartment in time for the New Year. I start work at NewSpring Church on January 2nd.
The South has welcomed us; I welcome you to what’s next.
