[Kid Inspiration]

There are VERY few veterans when it comes to ministry to children, cheapest celebrex price especially in Australia… so it was a real honour to meet Dick Gruber last weekend. He was in town for a conference and popped in to one of our Sunday morning services.

Got to meet Dick and his son Tim, both incredibly tall indiviuals.

Although, don’t you hate it when you have guests and after saying farewell you realise you just spent the entire time talking about what YOU are doing and not taking the time to ask THEM questions… anyway I felt like that after they left… and I usually am and inquistive person!

Oh well!

Each year Christian Music cheap zoloft Today put together the ‘Best of’ Lists.

Back in 05 we were no. 5 in the best of list for kids albums.

In 06, made it to No. 2 for Super Strong God.

Now for the Best of 07… drum roll… Tied for No. 1!

Uh Oh… no where to go but down now! Will 08 bring heartache, or will we conquer the world with a No. 1 not shared with anyone else?????

Yancy cheap xenical uk has a new album out called Rock-N-Happy Heart.

From Yancynotnancy.com:

Yancy spent five years at Church on the Move in Tulsa, Oklahoma as a congregational worship leader, overseeing worship in a variety of areas and for a multitude of age groups. From elementary ministry to youth to young adults to the main worship staff, Yancy has the distinctive skill to lead all ages in worship, which led to her most recent album, a worship album for kids called Rock-N-Happy Heart that also features a companion DVD. If rock-n-roll is your style and worship is your heart. This music will bring a smile to your face.

One of the coolest things is, (at least to me) is that she has a version of I’m Reallly Happy which is a song Beci (my wife) and I wrote from Jesus is my Superhero!

And it is a FANTASTIC version, waaay better than our 2004 version!

So thanks Yancy! And everyone needs to not JUST buy the album but buy the Ministry Combo for your Children’s Ministry.

So I have had a bit of a writers block as of late, so I thought I might put up the structure I am using this year (at least the first part of this year) for our primary (elementary) leadership team.

We have 8 services over a weekend and they can be kinda blocked in groups of two.

Sat Night
(5pm and 7pm)

Sun Morn
(8am and 9:30am)

Sun Day
(11:30am and 1:15pm)

Sun Night
(5pm and 7pm)

(No we don’t go to all of them, it would kill us – we have OSO’s — Optional Services Off rostered each weekend)

So the first tier of leadership is 4 brilliant team leaders… my key team and all ultra committed volunteers. They oversee a two service block

Then we have service leaders underneath them, one for each service… 8 volunteers who focus on one service and team.

Finally we have 2IC’s (second in charge), leaders on a journey to become service leaders. Each of the service leader/2IC’s in encouraged to develop and release leaders into ministry as well!

4 cheap watson carisoprodol —-
8 ——–
8 ——–

A total of 20 champion volunteers overseeing the primary ministry… (K-Year 4) (Kindergarten is first year of school in Aus.)

This doesn’t include pre-teen (year 5-6) who have a similar structure.

Once a month we will have a Key Team United – with all our key people from Early childhood up, run by myself and my wife Beci, then once a month a primary key team run by the four oversights, and an early childhood key team with the four from EC running! (Voltage – pre teen ministry – will run with primary)

(BTW, none of this meeting has happened yet… we are starting next week…)

(Those of you in Northern Hemis — remember our summer is in Dec/Jan so this is like your Aug/Sept launches)

P.S. This post is for as much for my head as it is for your curiosity as it helps me articulate to our team!

P.P.S. I bet some of you read the P.S. before the article above — curious were you

Okay, little joke for all South Pacific dwellers! (Aus, NZ etc.)

Three men were sitting together bragging about how they had given their new wives duties.

Terry had married a woman from America, and bragged that he had told his wife she was going to do all the dishes and housework. He said that it took a couple days but on the third day he came home to a clean house and the dishes were all washed and put away.

Jimmie had married a woman from Canada. He bragged that he had given his wife orders that she was to do all the cleaning, dishes, and the cooking. He told them that the first day he didn’t see any results, but the next day it was better. By the third day, his house was clean, the dishes were done, and he had a huge dinner on the table.

The cheap vytorin third man had married a Kiwi girl.

He boasted that he told her that her duties were to keep the house cleaned, dishes washed, lawn mowed, laundry washed and hot meals on the table for every meal.

He said the first day he didn’t see anything, the second day he didn’t see anything, but by the third day most of the swelling had gone down and he could see a little out of his left eye. Enough to fix himself a bite to eat, load the dishwasher, and call a landscaper.
