Here we go!
I just read the new blog by Dave Bolt entitled Worship, Media, & Technology. What a great beginning for a blog and one that speaks well to what we as a church can begin to accomplish with this technology. I'd also like to point out that all the things that Dave mentions he is involved in merely scratch the surface of his investment in the life of Walnut Hills Baptist. He's one-in-a-million and the fact that I'm posting now is testament to his dogged determination to get the staff to use this opportunity. Dave, you're the old woman who brow-beat the judge to receive justice - but in a good way. Huzzah!
This is listed as a Family Ministry blog but as my thoughts tend toward the random side of the universe (ooh, I see bike riders!) other thoughts and issues are likely to come up with alarming frequency. We'll see how it goes and make changes as necessary.
The biggest directional change for our ministry is the formation of a Parent Leadership Team. We have our second meeting on Tuesday Feb. 12. Because we have just begun our journey I won't share details as of yet but I will say that we are in a three phase process of evaluating and implementing a new look and focus on how we minister to the whole family. Our focus will be on equipping and empowering families to engage in meaningful discipleship in the home while providing dynamic family oriented worship and fellowship for the Family of Christ at WHBC. This isn't the end of youth and children's ministry but rather the beginning of a more holistic approach to meeting the needs of the family.
If you are scratching your head I've created that paradox of saying too much and too little. More to come from the Parent Leadership Team.
Next week I'll add some posts about things that are coming up in the area of retreats and missions.
Shalom,
Graham
