« Welcome to the blog! | Main | "Walking on Water" Growth Emphasis »

Fellow Ministers

Greetings fellow laborers for Christ Jesus!

 One of the greatest joys of pastoring this church is getting to know the many people who passionately serve Jesus with their time, talents and treasure!  One of the hardest things about pastoring this church is being able to communicate with everyone that is ministering.

This section of the blog is reserved for those who are actively serving in a ministry capacity at the church.  There will be subcategories for each ministry that needs various persons to communicate with each other on a regular/semi-regular basis.  For instance, one of the great benefits of Small Group ministry is the various times and places they can be offered; however, that makes it very difficult for the various small group leaders to talk to one another and with Walter Hopkins and myself.  This is the place.

Think of it as a ministry meeting that you can show up to whenever you want, wearing whatever you want, from wherever you get online - and your voice will be heard, and opinions shared for the others in the ministry to see and reply to.

The next step is to post a comment for your ministry team if you want a subcategory, and get the ball rolling.

In Christ,

Jon

Hello to all you who visit this page! I am glad to see that you have popped in! I am writing to tell you how very excited I am about our growth emphasis for 2008--If You Want to Walk on Water, You've got to Get out of the Boat! It is a fantastic book that I feel will be both challenging and encouraging to you in your spiritual walk. I hope that everyone finds a small group (if you haven't already!) and gets a copy of this book to join us in the journey together as a church. If you would like more information on small groups, feel free to see me at church or contact me through this blog and I will make sure that you are plugged in to a small group. Small Group Leaders--we will be trying to use this space as a communication point. If you have questions or concerns, feel free to post them here and I will do my best to respond to them as quickly as possible. May God bless you as you strive to grow closer to him!

Will small group leaders be able to get a copy of the book in advance to look at it and plan? I would love to see it!

Yes, the books as well as participant guides have been ordered, and small group leaders will receive them as soon as they arrive. The general populace will receive their books on dec. 30th. Great question - and welcome to the forum!!

Yes, Pastor Juan answered your question for you. I hope that helps!

Oops!! I got the order in today, and the participant guides are available to all small group leaders. Unfortunately, the 40 books however are miniature editions - and I returned them today as well. I will hopefully get the actual books in sometime this week - but with Christmas, it's dicey.
