Budget Requests for Church Libraries
We have two new comments on our discussion about budgets. Let’s keep this conversation going. Click here.
What’s New for Your Church’s Library in 2021?
After last Monday’s email broadcast, we had several of us share what is happening with our churches’ libraries. Great ideas here. Let’s keep adding our stories.
Relationships
What are you reading and hearing about the importance of relationships in our churches and synagogues? Seems like that is a no-brainer question due to our COVID situation. But does “no-brainer” mean we should accept the obvious as well?
Right now kids and youth ministries are moving away from building programs and keeping attendance to focusing on building connections that result in relationships. If COVID is changing our longtime ministry models, you and I who serve in our churches’ libraries need to give some serious thought to how our library ministries need to adjust and align to the new models. Have you had a serious conversation with age group ministers/leaders in your church/synagogue? Does not matter what other churches are doing. Each of us need to find out what is happening in our own churches/synagogues.
In the comments, let's grapple with the impact of shifts in our churches and synagogues on our library ministries. Let’s discuss relationships this week. Click here.
Have a bold week!
