A Few Things I Learned This Week

This is what I picked up serving God’s people in Chicagoland this week:

– “The best new church development pastors are in their 40s and the church plant is their third call.”  (From a New Beginnings consultant)

– About a third of those preparing for professional ministry in the Presbytery I serve would like to start a new church as soon as possible.  (From my own observations staffing the Commission on Preparation for Ministry)

– Sometimes the bus doesn’t arrive, no matter what the sign says. (From waiting for a bus for 45 minutes before walking to the train station.)

– A lot of good people don’t know the difference between being Faithful Church People and being a disciple of Jesus.  (From reading comments shared in a recent local study.)

– We can disagree and not hate each other.  (From this book.)

Thoughts?
