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
We had a photo scavenger hunt for the Student Ministry on this past Sunday. For info on how that went, check out our Student Website. Click here to check out the blog entry.
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
