Good Relationships

Last week we ended our SALT curriculum series. The final lesson was on building good relationships, whether between friends, families, or romantic relationships. All relationships require a great amount of effort to maintain their health.

Amazing Grace

I walked into my office following the first service on Sunday, and there was a beautiful decoration in the form of a cross on my desk that said “Amazing Grace”.. I was not sure where it came from, but it made my morning special. For in the message I could sense the

Personal Worship

Recently I met with some friends who are also heavily involved with ministry in one form or another. We were discussing our spiritual health as far as our personal life is concerned.

The Face of Family Ministry

A couple of weeks ago while sitting in the Orange Tour session, Reggie Joiner talked about “family ministry” in our churches. It had never dawned on me the simple concept that he brought up in terms of church marketing. Think about every church’s stock photography when showing “family.”

Calm Before the Storm

First day of Kids Club was Tuesday (for 3^rd grade)!

After We Die

Last Wednesday in youth group, our lesson was spent on Session 3 of our SALT curriculum from Dare 2 Share. We started with an activity that was gross, and definitely attention grabbing. I can honestly say that it’s the first time I have ever made a student vomit in youth group.
