Leadership Meetings

We have a student leadership team that meets every Sunday afternoon to plan every detail of our Desring More service. I have had a lot of questions about this and how it works so let me explain. We have a group of students that are split into two different groups. One is our prayer leadership team. This team is responsible for our small group prayer time. These are the students that lead each small group for about a ten minute prayer time after they have taken a passage of scripture on prayer and explained it. Every Sunday afternoon they take this scripture and they teach it to me just like they will our students. OUr second team is our worship team that is responsible for picking out our prayer and worship music and typing up all powerpoints. These students also must answer accountability questions each week. I sit down with them before the start of every series a week or so in advance to plan out our stage settings and any other change in the service we may make. They are the ones who are required to sit with our visitors, stay late to help clean, and be the example at school that truly represents Christ. In almost five years of ministry, this has been my most productive system of gaining and training students in Christ.

Just a side note...We won our 6th grade basketball game yesterday. Spiritual lesson?? Winning is a lot more fun than losing:)

You make us sound so great and professional. I like it!
I love the spiritual lesson too, although it isn't that spiritual.:)
