For all the faults I feel there is going to be a great move of the Holy Spirit here. In addition to the posts John pointed to this week, I have discussed What Would Mary Do?
Three months was all we could handle. We'll share and do announcements there, and then move to the worship area.
The other thing we've tried is placing them at the end of the worship.

Yes, that's exactly what I'm suggesting.
In fact, if I can create one full length article and a few shorter posts each week, I'll be content with that.

I have emailed a link to the only minister of our 3 whom I feel will appreciate your content.
CommentLet them preach!
Heck, they are always printed in the bulletin anyway. I am right with you on this stuff!
Not everyone (not even all teenagers) likes an electric guitar.
About the Methodist Blogroll: I've been a jerk and I owe everyone an apology.
