A PK's perspective on ministry....
(Preview)
This is actually a funny post . My friend Trisha, who is the children's pastor at a massively huge A/G church in Dayton, Ohio, posted this on her Facebook yesterday: So my son just asked, "What'd you do today mommy?" I said, "Part of mommy's job today was to pray for sick people at the hos...

Background checks/prayer request
(Preview)
I just found out today that a nearby church is going through a major crisis... You may have heard in the news about a music pastor in Wisconsin who has been arrested for sexual contact with at least two teens from the congregation. Well - this is a church where a good friend of mine, up until very recently,...

It's been a while ladies...I need your prayers & insight.

Wow. It's been a while since I've been on the boards & boy have they changed. I used to get on every morning at work, but they blocked this site & so I got out of the habit of coming here. (Pastor Deanna I am able to read your blog at work & I do every morning.) I love you ladies & think tha...

Talk to me about prayer...

What does the prayer ministry look like in your church? What days/nights do you have it on? Who attends? Who runs the meeting? If it's you, what happens when you are on vacation or ill...who runs meeting then? What is the structure of your prayer meetings? We are making some changes in this area...woul...

How do you want them to leave?
(Preview)
When people decide to leave the church, how exactly do you want them to leave? I'm really not sure what's worse -- people just dropping off the scene and not returning, or when they make an appointment and come in to waste your time just to tell you they are leaving (when you could be doing other produc...

Ooooo, I got one! I got one!
(Preview)
There has been a major shift in our ministry. And by shift (overused word I know) I mean a major change to a way of thinking. And it has freed us completely. We faced a hard truth that we're not like everybody else in the ministry. God gave us the vision. We're responsible for making sure it gets carried out...

Just getting it off my chest...
(Preview)
So yesterday I'm in a meeting with my pastor and he asks: "So what is your dress code upstairs on Sunday mornings?" I reminded him that all of the leaders wear our logo T-shirts so that parents can easily identify the leaders when they are dropping off or picking up their kids. Usually with a...

It happened Monday
(Preview)
I've heard other ministers talk about it and recall these events but they had never happened to me; until this week. I had the opportunity to minister the Word and during the altar she came up. She told me that if I spoke in tongues again, the devil would snatch my tongue out of my mouth. I called my beloved...

Holiday Season Rant
(Preview)
Bear with me, friends - I have nowhere else I can vent all this... Okay, so first of all - my husband switched to the overnight shift last May, under the assumption that he would only be working FOUR shifts per week [10 hours each]. So far, this has happened only once. He's been working five overnight shi...
