I'm planning to pass this one on to the guys who lead our worship ministry.

If when the Worship Minister heads out to make those pastoral calls, he were to take other members of the worship team along with him and use it as an opportunity to teach them about the sort of ministry that reflects most clearly God's image, then he would not only be a legitimate minister but also a genuine pastor-shepherd. <br /><br />"As he went ashore, he saw a great crowd; and he had compassion for them, because they were like sheep without a shepherd; and he began to teach them ..."

It was in a smaller church where the Senior Minister did most of the "general church ministry". People seemed to feel cheated when I showed up in the room instead of the Sr. Minister. Now at my second located ministry where I am just over the youth, I share hospital duties and other responsibilities. I found to be extremely intimidating at first. Now, however, I look forward to meeting with people and it really has changed my ministry and relationship with many people in our faith community. Joelnoreply@blogger.com
