Making the Most of “Come & Go” Events

March 9, 2010 – 7:49 am

Many churches offer “come & go events” in spring. Lots of them! Easter breakfast. Mother’s Day teas and Father’s Day donut gatherings after services. Graduation and Confirmation receptions. Sunday school staff meet & greets.
Honoring members in this way is a good idea. But how could you step the value up from merely good to great, [...]

A Word to Dads

June 16, 2009 – 11:39 am

Most of the time, TV commercials are dull. Sometimes, you see something witty or clever that catches your attention, but not normally.
However, one recent TV ad has stuck with me. I think it about it when I consider the blessings of fatherhood. The catch phrase of the commercial was, “It takes a man to be [...]

Mother’s/Father’s Day–A Double Standard?

May 18, 2009 – 6:58 am

Mother’s Day/Father’s Day–100 Years of Love (Part 3 of 3)

April 7, 2009 – 9:04 am
