Discipleship:
We spent most of our time on various aspects of discipleship and accountability applied to our relationships and the need for freshness and the need for wisdom and experience in all of the groups. We have made terrific progress on this in 2008 and need to keep pressing harder. There were some ambitious goals stated. If they happen, look out. This is some of the most important work we can do as a family relating to each other.
- Here are the opportunities for discipleship that are already occuring:
- Carol is leading a women's Bible Study
- Marriage group is considering how to expand
- Travis is offering a Galatians Study ( to be scheduled )
- Paul Barth's group is considering the Romans Study
- Encounter Weekend tentatively set up for February 20, 21
Building and Grounds:
Need to remove the Christmas program props. A good suggestion was to have a children's party to help tear it down.
We discussed the dates of April 18th as a day to haul away junk from outside and May 9th to begin installing rain garden, bridge, water drainage. We would really like to have community (TBNA) involvement in this to help everyone know that the area is back there and that we desire the community to enjoy the improvement. James offered a picnic table.
We also discussed the opportunity of tent positioning being a foreshadow of the picnic shelter that we would like to build for the community. Picnic shelter, bridge and walkway is intended to make the church campus more like a community park.
Mike has talked with a few local pastors about the opportunity to join with us.
Evangelism:
Mike reminded us of things we will be doing to prepare the nets for the Tent meetings:
- Read the book that Mike and Josh have been passing out.
- Prepare our small groups for growth ( More groups, Smaller groups before March )
- Abigail to provide CCC Training: January 23 and 24
- Four Monthly Prayer events for this purpose (Jan,Feb,Mar,Apr)
- Block out calendar: April 22nd to 29th
There was also discussion about tying the Tent Meetings and community canvassing to the VBS at the end of June. Using our resources to minister to the children in the community is one of the best investments we can make.
