YM Resource – Facebook for Pastors

I found this the other day.  Admitting I haven't read the entire thing yet, it does seem pretty good so far.  I've been using Facebook in ministry ever since I've moved to New Hampshire.  This e-book, however, has some great ideas that I'd not thought of yet.  Thanks to Chris Forbes for writing this and … Continue reading YM Resource – Facebook for Pastors

Photo Scavenger Hunt – Fall 2008

A Speed Racer Night

I just bought the Speedracer movie tonight, which came with a Mach 5 Hotwheels.  I really enjoyed the movie when I saw it in the iMax, so naturally, I was thrilled when it came out on DVD.  By coincidence, I was also able to find the Speedracer video game (for Wii) at the local Movie … Continue reading A Speed Racer Night

What more can I do?

After an amazing day at church, we had a great photo scavenger hunt with the students.  There were several new faces, too!  Then, I headed to the high school for a time of worship through music and listening to an evangelist/motivational speaker (former NBA star and Harlem Globetrotter, Marvin Adams).  He is so funny and … Continue reading What more can I do?

Six Flags and Jeremy Camp

Yesterday, I went to Six Flags with our high school students.  It was great!  If you've never been to the one in Springfield, MA, I definitely recommend it -- mainly to ride "Superman: Ride of Steel."  It was awesome!  We also got to see a Jeremy Camp concert.  This was very cool for two reasons. … Continue reading Six Flags and Jeremy Camp

The Numbers Game

I've often wondered what it'd be like to be a part of a church that is rapidly growing in numbers -- to see an influx of new people every week that keep coming back.  I've also wanted that for a youth ministry.  Granted, I did see substantial number growth in the junior high ministry in … Continue reading The Numbers Game

Hit and Run

Today, as I am sitting in my office waiting for tonight's Discovery Workshops to start, a man walks into the church.  I, being the only one there, greet him.  He proceeds to ask me if I own the blue car in the parking lot.  I, of course, respond with a yes.  Then the next thing … Continue reading Hit and Run

Murderer Gets a Wii

As most of you know, I am a big video game fan.  I have been ever since the first Nintendo Entertainment System came out and I received one for Christmas when I was 4 or 5 years old.  In fact, I am also a blogger on a Nintendo news site called, WiiNintendo.net.  As I often … Continue reading Murderer Gets a Wii

Honda Commercial

Check out this video.  We showed it this morning at church.  It's a pretty sweet commercial! We used it in connection with our sermon on "ministry."  The church is supposed to work together as a body.  Every part is very important!

Things Unexpected

I was getting ready step on the plane in Bloomington (and fly back to Manchester by way of Detroit) when the man who was taking checked baggage started talking to me.  I had asked him if this was the correct flight (as I was the last one on the plane and was a little behind … Continue reading Things Unexpected
