Grandma’s Homebaked Ministry Tips

Today just rocked. It was a non-stop pure adrenaline joy ride.

The main feature?

Lunch with my mom-in-law, Margie.

This woman is so full of wisdom it was excellent simply to spend a few hours together talking life and ministry. Here are a few of the highlights:

• The church needs to be intergenerationally focused. We can’t ignore a different age group simply because it’s convenient
• The church needs to reach beyond it’s “family” focus and minster to singles as well. Especially single mothers, divorcee’s and women who’s husbands don’t participate. They are often left out.
• The best ministry is simply showing people that you care about them with out an agenda.
• God has a purpose for you in the context you are in. You don’t need to go somewhere else to serve Jesus. You are called to serve everywhere you go.
• Grandmothers are a vital part of your child’s development
• People come in diverse personalities. Some are full or engery and others are great accomplishers. Some are peacemakers and others have great analytical strength. God can use them all.
• Choleric Sanguines or “task oriented fun lovers,” (my temperament) make the best worship leaders. Margie told me so 🙂

There was tons of other great stuff. Man when you get two talkers together it goes on forever.

So seriously, call up someone older than you with more life-experience and go and hang out with them today.
