Hi Everyone!
Now that July 4 is behind us, our churches are transitioning to the new church year. We represent churches and synagogues that have a variety of approaches to this transition. For the next few weeks let’s share with each other about these transitions.
Budget Preparations
We’ve already been discussing the budget. Suncrest shared their budget categories last Tuesday. Click here to read the current discussion and to add your suggestions.
Inventory
How do you approach the inventory task? For our growing number of new librarians joining the CLN, share your inventory tips whether you conduct the inventory manually or with software. If you are new, ask questions. Click here.
Serving the Ministries
Now is a great time to contact your age group ministers, women’s ministers, men’s ministers, and other ministers to discuss how the church library can assist their plans for the new ministry year. A common question for all of them involves their disciple making approaches. Will they have group Bible studies and/or Bible-based studies during the week? Does the library provide materials the leaders use such as kits? Click here.
Events
This Saturday, the Middle Tennessee Church Library Ministry Network is gathering. Everyone is welcome! Click here.
