Things I have been learning on my sabbatical – simple statements that I’ll seek to elaborate on later.
- Training our volunteers is highly valued, but not well done
- Volunteer leaders need to be super-human to do what we ask of them (this makes those who actually do what we ask amazing)
- Ministry assessment is not happening very well – how well do you confront the brutal facts of how your ministry is doing?
- Discipleship is not happening as well as we might think it is
- Our small groups are not really accomplishing as much as we thought they would
- Junior high students are very capable of diving into the spiritual disciplines (the old and “new” ones) as long as they are lead well
- There are not a lot of good resources out there for junior high students. There are plenty of not so good things, but not many that are really worth much. If a student is looking for a devotional booklet or some help with a problem, don’t hold your breath for the answers to come with a simple resource
