To me, the fall is the time to start new things. The ministry calendar follows the school calendar. Implementing changes is a progressive thing, a good thing most of the time and when the kids start a new school year, a great time to change things in ministry to kids (teens & children).
As we head into the fall, we are looking forward to Joshua Revolution's Niagara 2007. A multi-ethnic, -cultural, -denominational, -national conference where teens meet the God. My wife and I took 7 teens in 2005 to the conference and they came back changed. God grew those seven into more and they have been reaching the neighborhood around the church. This year, I'm hoping to take even more teens and some other chaperones as well.
The big thing on the radar screen is Joshua Revolution. Their theme is Exodus: "Let my people go!" God is in the business of setting us free: free from the world, from bondage, from sin.
Its time for a new beginning. Even our church is going through a new beginning: a new senior pastor. Where we go as a church has still to be seen, but we have taken the first steps as God directs.
Random thoughts from a focused mind on reaching the world one community, one family, one person at a time with the Good News of Jesus.
