Each year, around Oct and Nov, I get to start work on plans for the upcoming year.
I know… I know… you might say “what is there to plan? we’re a small church?” but don’t forget, we’re a part of something bigger than just us and I believe we, all Christians, should be responsible with our time and resources in our hands.
First thing I do on the calendar is to mark the H.C Conference for Pastors in April and in Sep. I consider these two conferences as the most important things I have to attend. Because I get to be reminded on how and why I’m doing this by being around with like minded ministers. God works with, through His people.
Second thing I go over on the calendar used to be church retreats but now it’s Living Life Bible Study and other Life Bible studies. I usually schedule one in Spring and another one in Fall. I always had at least one Bible study each year for the past 2 years except for this year. I hope I get to open one Life Bible study next year.
Third is other events I think it’s good for us to host. Next year I would like to start a year with Daniel Fasting in Jan. From Jan 11 - Jan 31 (21days). I used to do Daniel fasting each year and had many positive experiences and I believe this will benefit our church both physically and spiritually. I will go over Daniel Fasting next week.
There are other things I’m working on next year but these are the important ones that need our prayers and commitment. Let’s see how God works and make things happen next year!
