THOUGHTS FROM THE COHORT

Over the course of the last six months I have been privileged to participate in a minister’s cohort regarding ministerial health. Here are a few thoughts I have gleaned from the cohort.

RESILIENCE AND REGULATION ARE A PART OF ENDURANCE AS A PASTOR. IN TIMES OF DIFFICULTY: KEEP YOUR HEAD, ENDURE HARDSHIP, WORK AT TELLING OTHERS THE GOOD NEWS, FULLY CARRY OUT THE MINISTRY GOD HAS GIVEN YOU.

WE ACHIEVE CONGRUENCE BETWEEN OUR SOUL AND OUR OUTWARD EXPRESSION THROUGH REPENTANCE.

THESE ARE SOME REAL THINKERS. I AM GOING TO MEDITATE NOW.

A FIRE FINALE

This year I was privileged to be able to revisit my youth ministry routes at Cornerstone. The youth group needed a worship leader and so I came out of retirement and got to hang with this great group of kids all year.

We started in the fall with a bonfire and we ushered in the summer season with a bon fire. as well. While the teen group meets all through the summer, this last Tuesday was the final meeting for the boys group and girls group until school starts again in the fall.

And so it begins!

The troops.

More troops.

More troops.

And More.

It was a great ending and summer launch all at the same time.
