I'm learning more and more about standard operating procedures and protocols at Church of God Ministries. There are ways to go about getting things done--for example, getting graphics created for text, submitting proposals for upcoming events, and including all the right personnel in decision-making. I'm happy to learn and apply it so that Church of God Ministries can be efficient in ministry work. Sometimes it may feel like work, but the ministry that is produced is worth the effort!

The Ministries Council is meeting with Dr. Duncan on the West Coast (Portland) and they also had a leadership rally. I'm excited to hear how the event went and what good things God has in mind for the Church of God reformation movement now and into the future!

Speaking of the West Coast, Mt. Scott Church of God in Portland, Oregon, is one church (I'm sure only one of several churches) who will be starting rehearsals for a musical called "Life School Musical"--no doubt a spin-off of the ever-popular "High School Musical." What a great idea, to incorporate something familiar to the culture into something that communicates the message of Jesus Christ! And, even better, as the church web page states, "This is not just a Mt. Scott Church kids musical--we are inviting VBS families, and encourage you to invite your neighbors and friends who don't attend another church." So they're involving the community, too!
