Sorry to all of you who were reading the blog/checking the blog faithfully and then stopped because I dropped the ball... life gets crazy and I really didn't think anyone was checking this blog so I put it on the preverbal "to do" pile which consumes the floor space of my office. My youth ministry mentor, way back in the day, used our floor space as the filing cabinet for upcoming events and communication pieces. I learned from the best. So.... I'm back to continue our focus on the book I challenged us to read together and now my own leadership team is reading; Jesus Centered Youth Ministry by Rick Lawrence. Even if you are not reading the book, please join in on the conversation and if you have some time, please leave a comment! But, please come on back to the blog and I/we will keep the thing very current. Look for a new post, at least once a week!
I trust your ministries are going well and that your spring planning is well under way and your summer pre-plans are just about finished. I am putting the final touches on our summer mission trip to New Orleans. Let's learn to lean on one another. Enjoy the weekend!
Peace,
Tim Bistline
Hi Tim,
ReplyDeleteIt's great to have you back! We always appreciate your experience and wisdom. We're encouraged at the statistics that many are viewing this blog and seeking help in this important area of ministry. And yes, I know about the filing cabinet on the floor! My husband does the very same thing!! : ) Peace to you, too. We look forward to your words. Welcome back to Marilou, also, back here at the PRC. Come see Marilou or any of the consultants here at the PRC, for help with your youth ministry program.
