Graduation is barely over. VBS is about to begin. Everyone on your ministry team is scrambling to implement the great ideas you’ve been collecting for Summer Sunday school or the youth mission trip in July.

I know you’re not ready to think about Fall just yet or about welcoming new workers to the paid staff or volunteer army that you’ll rely on to get your ministry off to a great start in September.

So here’s just a quick note you can file away for August when you begin to focus  with gazelle intensity on staff appreciation!

CTA’s new line of Christian Worker recruitment/appreciation products for Fall–Serving in His Steps–is another in a long line of tools designed to save you lots of time in creating an integrated look and feel. In fact, you could easily turn it into a leadership-wide  or even church-wide theme for all of 2009-2010.

The art is spectacular and the content, Christ-centered and Bible-based. You’ll love the encouraging messages, all drawn from Scripture and the free, kick-off Ministry Message CTA plans to provide.

‘Nough said for now. Get out and enjoy the sunshine, cook-outs, and lazy days of summer! But tuck the theme, Serving in His Steps, into a corner of your mind and heart. You’ll want to explore it further in early August!
