I was checking out the archives of this blog and found a couple posts that I want to share with you from two years ago:

• I Am Not Indispensable
  • I still resonate with this post. I seek to mentor both volunteers to provide care for the congregation and younger persons considering ministry.
• A Clear Priority – New Congregations
  • It seems like this emphasis was just rehashed at General Conference and I am not aware of the direct progress in this area. I believe micro or home churches will begin to play an important role in church plants within the denomination.
