Different is good

Arbys told us this but it true in more than Roast Beef, it’s also true in children’s ministry.

I’m in Murfreesboro, TN at an amazing church. This church has 3 auditoriums that are all together in one location, 1 has live preaching the other 2 are video. They do 3 services for a total of 9 crowds. Tonight I spoke to their children’s workers who had served for a year and tonight was the re-up night. It was great but that’s not how i do it. But, here’s some radical news, that’s OK! It’s alright to do children’s ministry differently. What’s you’re point… network, ask what others do, visit every place that you hear something good is happening. Find out what they are doing that’s working even if it’s different. Sometimes just knowing what others are doing also let’s you know you’re doing OK and you shouldn’t change a thing.

I’m not married to anthing but my wife. If there’s a better way to do things I want to learn. Take a lesson from the 5 for $5.55 guys…Different is good.

    Speaking of Arby’s (my favorite fast food place) did you hear about the Arby’s employee that got fired for backing into the meat slicer? Why you ask? Well, I guess he got a little behind in his work. :)
