Today Ed, Lee and I got together at Biggby’s Coffee. Last week Ed and I decided that it would be a good idea to start getting together at a specified time each week, instead of just finding time within our schedule. Furthermore we decided that we should start including Lee in our conversations as well. I think from Ed’s perspective it might be an attempt at disciplining Lee and me, which I would definitely be okay with.
Currently Ed, Melanie, Lee and me get together on Wednesday’s as the “Journey Team” but we are always reading various books and discussing the ministry implications of those books. I love doing that, but this new Tuesday meeting that we are doing will also be great. In this meeting there is no set schedule of what we need to talk about. It is really just a time for us to discuss what it is that we are working through in our different areas of ministry.
Today we talked a lot about the concept of being missional and how that applies to each ministry. Lee mentioned that meeting with people individually would be very effective for running the youth group. In his mind, had he started meeting with each just one family a week he could have built a great rapport with the kids already attending and with their parents as well.
I think I could easily transfer that over into Extended Play. There are a few guys in EP that I know that I could develop deeper relationships with. Furthermore, I know that if I did develop those relationships, that those guys would be more eager to come to EP every week. Plus, I think I could get a better understanding of what they want in a young adult group, which might in turn help me understand how to reach the young adults in Portland that are not yet connected with a church.
