This week at Liberty All Stars

This week I wrote about the last few days at KidzMatter (click here to read it). I thought I’d tell you what’s been happening with my church ministry this week. Most of you know that I have a real job – it’s being a full-time children’s pastor at a great church. How do I balance a full-time CP job with a full-time parachurch ministry? That’s a blog post for another day!

Here’s what’s been happening in my children’s ministry this week:

• On Sunday we started a new Kidmo series (Deep). We do Kidmo about twice a year in Kid’s Church. I think it’s great stuff and the kids like the variety.
• Our Monday morning church staff meeting was a positive one – one of the better in a while! Afterward we went and ate Mexican for lunch. Yummy!
• The internet at the church has been running very slow this week. You knew I would insert something random, didn’t you?
• On Wednesday and Thursday I brought Dan Wetzel to the area to do school assemblies. The picture on this post is Dan. He’s a basketball entertainer and the kids really liked him. The teachers sent tickets home with the kids inviting them to a family night at our church Thursday night.
• The Thursday night family events (we do 2 to accommodate the crowd) were great. I had the privilege (cough) of opening the service with a few Uncle Charlie songs. Yes, I am still praying for a great kid’s worship leader! The crowds were not as strong as previous years, but we still had a lot of visitors. They heard the Gospel and learned about a church where exciting things are happening!
• Oh ya, I proofed the church bulletin at 9:00 Thursday night before going home. I even used a red pen.
• I took today off. However, Beth and I ended up laying out the logistics for our Trunk or Treat in October. We screwed up last year (planned on 300 and had 600 show up). So this year we’re doing it different – and hopefully better!
• Tonight we went out to eat with some friends that are going to help us organize our church marriage retreat this fall.
