For those faithful who read my blog, I apologize for the recent lack of posting. It has been a busy, busy Summer. Thursday I logged over 51 telephone calls on my cell phone, what must be an all time record for me.
Nonetheless, I want to keep the subject of this blog as a priority. One of the themes I want to continue to explore is the networking of local church leaders with other church leaders doing similar tasks, ie., youth leaders with youth leaders, music directors with music directors, sound techs, treasurers, sunday school directors and other leaders. I think that we often learn a great deal from others who are facing the same challenges that we are.
The question, of course, is how to make this happen. With the advent of technology, much can be done via the internet. However, nothing is ever as good as a face to face encounter.
