Scratch December 8
December 8 won't work - too many people hunting. Forgot about that. I'll get back to you about it soon.
Weekly 1:6 Blog - Nov 29
The S.H.A.P.E. forms are in your mailbox. These forms should be filled out by those who would like to be involved in the ministry of the church somewhere. Actually, everyone should fill one out if possible. Take some time to go over each section. There is a bunch of information in the teaching section with suggestions, etc. for your help with this. I don't expect this to be quick. But I hope it will begin to help people get a sense of what they should be doing and what can be done. We would like to get everyones form back after December 16. You could put them in the mailbox above mine at church.
Week #5 lesson is in your mailbox.
It might be possible to have a copy or copies of all the offices and committees in your mailboxes by Sunday as well. No guarantee.
Hopefully everyone got an email with a spiritual gifts analysis attached. Let me know if you would like copies of that made. Some don't but some of you might, so get back to me if you want some and how many. There are a lot of other good "tests" available. Don't be afraid to use something else. Also, remember to let everyone know that this is a tool - one help in determining what gifts God has given. It isn't exact. There is more information in the teaching section for spiritual gifts as well.
We meet this Sunday and December 16 as well. Week #5 is the last "lesson". I think there is plenty of information for a 6th week if you want more discussion. With the spiritual gifts and S.H.A.P.E. "tools" available, you could do those.
We STILL (arrrggghhh) haven't finalized plans for the spring 1:6 session. I am hoping that today Paul and I can get together - it will depend how long his appointments take. Please know that it is being considered.
I know this is a busy time of year, but I would like to get together for breakfast at Cruisers on Saturday, December 8 around 7:30 AM. This will give Pastor Paul and Aaron both the opportunity to be involved in the discussion. This isn't 100% but I want to finalize this on Sunday so please check your calendars and let me know, either way, (just add a comment on here or email me) so I can make plans. Also, I have to contact the owner of Cruiser's to make sure if that would be okay with him. haha

O.C.C. Tuesday Video
Here is a quick edit of some highlights of our trip down to Operation Christmas Child. Taking the bus was the way to go for me! I am so much more rested. Enjoy the video.

1:6 Update
The week four "Student" lessons are in your mailboxes. The spiritual gifts "test" is good but it is 20 pages long. I am trying to get Diane to work on this while I am away but it is Thanksgiving week. I think I am going to have to email it to everyone so you have it ahead of time.
Remember that we meet two weeks in a row . . . this week and December 2.
More soon.

Spiritual Gifts Test
I don't know if this will work or not. I have added a link to the Spiritual Gifts "test" from Dean. I will have them in your mailbox for this week, but thought you might like to see it first. Use them if you would like to this week or subsequent weeks or not at all? ? ?

Weekly 1:6 Blog B
Three things we continually need to emphasize:
1. The "Pastor" is the ADMINISTRATOR; the member are the MINISTERS
2. Ministry is using whatever God has given me to serve him and the needsof others
3. God wants to use me to help the church grow.
The next 1:6 group night is November 25.
Remember we have 4 more 1:6 weeks (including this week, Nov. 11) and only 3 more lessons. Let me know if you need any ideas for the extra week.
Don't forget about the small group teleconference, November 14 @ 4 PM EST. Click HERE for more information. Please let me know if you would like to listen with me.
The Deacons have been working on job descriptions for all the ministries in the church. If they are done in time, we will distribute them to the small groups (and throughout the church) so people can get an idea about some ministry areas that need to be filled.
Dean was planning to send me a "Spiritual Gifts Analysis Test" and as soon as I get it, I will pass it on to you. It might be a tool you can use for that 6th week?
We are looking for ideas for topics for the next 1:6 session meeting in the Winter/Spring. If you could, take an informal survey to see what people would like to study. We may or may not use them. But, it would give us an idea about what people are interested in.
