Sorry about yesterday
I had a vlog for Wednesday Wisdom but didn’t have time to finish it. It will happen maybe tonight or I might just wait until Next Wednesday. I was also incredibly blessed by the service last night at Varsity at Brookwood. I can’t believe that almost 90% of the teens at Varsity last night committed to lift up Christ at their schools.
Also the led’s were going nuts last night. They were flashing quickly while the message was going on and were very distracting. But i thought to myself how blessed we are to have those lights and they aren’t all that important. God kinda reminded me about the arguments that we had all the time in my marketing classes over media vs. message.
The message imo should never outweigh the time and effort put into the message, but unfortunately most of the time it does, especially in churches.
Also the worship was good. Loved the songs and I think the teens are growing in their attitude towards worship.
Anyway I wanted to apologize and let you know that the Wednesday Wisdom vlog is coming.
Juggling the Tools
All of the tech’s that read this blog I’ve got a question for you guys. I’m going through tutorials of motion and photoshop and illustrator. How in the world do you keep it straight?
Actually my question is: Which should I put my time and effort into? I am in children’s ministry and we do all of the above: video and graphic design. I want to know where to put my time and effort into and also some resources to help me learn.
Tell me what you think.
New experience in ministry
Today I had an interesting feeling in church. Our 5th graders moved up today and that included my strongest volunteer combo. Father and son.
It’s tough in childrens ministry programming to keep volunteers because generally your stuff is viewed as far inferior to the tech crowd. How do you overcome that? Even when your programming is great there seems to be this barrier and limit. Any suggestions?
Big Super Incredible Things Coming to Brookwood
I am so incredibly excited about Fall at Brookwood Church. Here’s a few things I am excited about that are happening right now at my church.
- Auditorium renovation including 20×40 foot screen and HD projectors!
- A new cafe venue with coffee bar and seating with Plasmas for people to connect during and between services right outside of the Auditorium.
- New Student Building that doubles as a Rec facility during the week! Its sweet.
- Children’s area renovations that increase the amount of kids that we can reach every single week!
- New Sunday format in Children’s ministry that makes our volunteers’ roles even more critical to our growth and the Children’s growth.
I love my church and where we are going. I am so glad that we are trying to find new ways to connect with people and build relationships to lead them to Christ.
Thanks Perry for the incredible message and the encouragement at the end. It was Awesome!
I am pumped about Fall and the opportunities that God is giving Brookwood Church. It is truly incredible.
