The Two Pounder Challenge
It's finally the last day of the week and things sure looks to finally slow down for most of us...Nigel's project go-live has, to some effect, lower his support load from the users; Jenny is readying to head back to work after her maternity leave, the Americans are readying to head back to their country in June etc.
Our SF meeting last week was an excellent one at the Carribbean. We had a fusion on the table, with western cusine and eastern menu forming part of our discussion. But, more importantly, the main topic of that night seemed to linger over the fading attendance of SF everywhere and the balance point in life with church, family and work on the scale. It's imperative that our church nurtue that "co-operative and supportive" environment for SFs to thrive. In that I mean, each planned activity does not "clash" with the slower, less "polished" Bible studies they have each week while fostering a focus to encourage members to balance committments as a church body. That boils down to again asking ourselves what is the role of each family. Its a personal relationship building session where lives are gradually strengthened to live gloriously for the Lord. Some families build relationship around Bible studies or prayer but a good dose of special interests should be present to "glue" people up.
Its also to some of us, a springboard, whereby members propel themselves to integrate their service for the Lord in the local church community in a known ministries. Our group has a slight bias (or interest) in travelling and that brings hearts together constantly. Another emerging interests lies in parenthood, where mothers discuss about nurturing their kids in the fear of the Lord. What other interests bind the family?
