LEADERSHIP UPDATE of the Southeast Region
Volume 5, Issue 9 October 2010
Pastors:
Please distribute this to your delegates, leaders & congregation
NEW GROUPS
THIS FALL
Group Life no, its not about a program
. . . its about people. Groups can take place in any location, and in
sizes from two or three, to a dozen or more.
Some
smaller groups may be initiated by church members outside the walls of your
church:
Some
medium sized groups may be led by church members inside the walls of the
church:
It doesnt matter the size of the group or the
location of where it takes place. . . what matters is that those in your
congregation are reaching out to others in friendship, offering the compassion
and wisdom of Christ. So ask your church attendees to turn in what they are
doing to invest in others through group life. Then report your congregations
new groups by October 10 (10-10-10) to Bishop Roller at www.livethestorytellthestory.com.

USE MEDIA FOR GROUP LIFE
Everyone enjoys a good movie, and
this fall theres a great movie coming to the big screen that can be used for
Kingdom purposes. In November, 20th Century Fox will release I AM, a contemporary film based upon
the 10 Commandments, which was written, directed, produced and financed by
individuals with a passion for God and a heart for the church.
Go
to www.IAMthemovie.com
for trailers, downloadable materials and info.
Im a huge fan of the movie I AM. I love how relevant it is for
right now, and I love the whole look and feel of it; think of 24 and Crash.
After people see it, theyre going to have to talk about it with somebody and
pastors and churches better be prepared, or theyre going to miss an awesome
opportunity to connect with the unchurched they claim they are so desperately
trying to reach.
(Frank Pastore, KKLA Radio Host and author of Shattered)
October
is PASTOR APPRECIATION MONTH
Expressing
appreciation to your pastor and his/her family can take many forms.
Here are just 5
actions that are appropriate any time of the year:
Pray
daily for your pastor & spouse, that their love for one another and God
deepens.
Respect
your pastors evenings by not calling him/her at home after 7pm.
Baked
items, restaurant gift cards, and offers to babysit are also thoughtful gifts.
Share
words of appreciation with greater eagerness than words of constructive
criticism.
Remember,
PKs (preachers kids) are forming their view of the Church based, in part,
upon how they feel the congregation is treating their parents.
