The Morning After Ministry Show

Is there anything more exhausting than VBS week? Andrew’s church pulled ut all the stops for a week of evening VBS with dinner for the whole family every night. The huge payoff was that most of the families came back when the kids were asked to sing on Sunday morning. It was the biggest non Christmas/Easter turnout in the two years Andrew’s been the pastor.We debated whether or not Father’s Day gifts were worth giving out to dads in the congregation. We talked about the pros anc cons, and got some great examples of gifts and some good reasons why churches do or don’t give them out. Andrew’s church gave out bottles of Dad’s Old Fashioned RootBeer with M&M’s attaatched to look like a bow tie. Tim’s church did nothing. But Tim did seal Andrew’s last rootbeer.Tim had a church member take him to a baseball game to tell him that they were leaving the church. We talked about the best and worst ways we have had people leave.

Nothing like getting a devicive text moments before church started. That’s what happened to Timmy yesterday as he was gathering for prayer with several people from his church. Fortunately, he was given a neat little surprise from the youth team at about the same time, balancing out the see saw of a morning. It’s VBS week at Andrew’s church. We discussed best practices and a few youth ministry hacks for a week when everyone is stretched super thin. Once again, a pastor’s social media usage was brought up. We talked about leveraging people in the church’s joy on social media, and how to discuss the topic with multiple generations and ideologies.

Ths morning we jumped into the show by talking about the extra hours we both pulled this week to make Mother’s Day happen as well as the other events happening at our churches. Andrew’s church had a VBS workday, and Tim and his elders have their first week without a scheduled meeting since early March. Andrew’s church, on the other had has not had an elders meeting since February. We talked about the amount of meetings that were necessary, and elders giving space or taking reigns of decision making. Tim is creating a job description for a part time youth pastor. We discussed the different qualities and limitations that we’d look for or expect in a part time role. Then we closed out the show by asking how much involvement was appropriate for a lead pastor to have in a student ministry.
