Pre-Fall To-Do List

Speaking of things to do in order to launch a new year of Middle School Ministry, here's my to-do list for the fall:

• Inform Sunday school teaching team on how to use the new Grapple curriculum.
• Arrange and price books for our new student book store.
• Attain equipment for our new student coffee area.
• Print, frame, and hang about 40 ministry pictures in the Mill.
• Get out September's parent newsletter.
• Finish developing the opening series for Tuesday night program
• Ask more people to join our small group leaders staff
• And some other stuff. Yikes

Middle School Ministry

This Spring I reserved a copy of Scott and Marko's new book, Middle School Ministry: a comprehensive guide to working with early adolescents. 

I'm 3 chapters in and love it. I wish there was more time in the day and less things on my to-do list. 

I look forward to giving a full review next week sometime.
