Came across this post from another blog. I thought it had some good insight for parents and youth leaders. Here is a sample... For the whole thing click here.

Josh Griffin from Saddleback chruch posted this on his blog. Their staff has made a commitment to come in each morning and abide by a “no screens” policy for a few minutes at the office. No laptop, no phone, no PDA (do people still have those?), no computer, no iPod, nothing.

Use those first few minutes to spend some time with God, Bible reading, prayer, and focused planning on the day. Maybe journal a few minutes, think about priorities and encouraging co-workers. too quickly we jump into email and tasks and forget to start out right.

This is a great way to start the day!!

Here’s the YouTube version from the results show, which included another performance of Shout to the Lord. So great!

 
Just finished this book. Its a wonderful book that explores God's character. A great daily devotional.

Just got out of our staff meeting and Pastor gave us a great guide in our planning for 2008-09. Thought I would share it with you. Good stuff!

1. How has God gifted me and what is my passion? (Rom.12:3-8)

2. Who are my ministry team leaders that I will invest in? (Eph. 4:11-12)

3. Name five nominal people you wish to train to be ministry leaders?

4. What will be your life and ministry verse for 2008-2009?

5. List four books you will read this coming year?

6. How will your ministry serve to and from CBC three year short term vision?

7. Who are four lost people you will consistently pray for and witness to in 2008-09?

Found this on interlinc-online.com "Don't let anyone look down on you because you are young" (1 Tim 4:12). But winning a $100,000 Scholarship for advancing a cancer study - wow! We couldn't help but shout "look at this" - maybe the grown-ups in your church could use a little reminder that teens can do great things. Go here for the article... pretty cool!
