Cussing Christians
Posted on 10. Oct, 2008 by Kenny.
One of the blogs I subscribe to posted this recently. I literally laughed out loud!
Lark is a news site that pokes fun at the Christian sub-culture, but in a very funny way. It’s like “the Office” of news blogs. The material is fictional, but it doesn’t read that way. The first time I came across this site I did a double take, thinking the content was real.
What made me laugh so hard was because the the situation described in this fictional story wasn’t too far off from something that I knew happened in another church. How funny.
It brings up a really good point though. More than it has in a very long time, I feel the church is becoming more relevant to the world.… Read the rest

TwitterChurch
Posted on 10. Jun, 2008 by Kenny.
I just read this article about a church that used twitter during a church service. You really should read it, absolutely amazing! In case you’re just skimming, I’ll give you the gist. The church planned ahead and let people know that a particular Sunday was going to be Twitter Sunday. So, people walked into the service with their iPhones and laptops. They had over 70 people following the church feed. There were big screens all over the auditorium displaying the feed as people interacted with all parts of the service. How amazing is this?
They said that there was humorous banter going on in the early part of the service, which kind of eased people into the feeling of community. Later on there were great moments of reflection and agreement and solid points displaying during the service.… Read the rest

Going to church is flippin’ easy (Lessons Learned the Hard Way Part 4)
Posted on 09. Mar, 2008 by Kenny.
It’s Sunday, so I thought I’d keep this one light.
In the 11+ years I’ve been a Children’s Pastor, I hardly know what it is like to “attend” church. Typically I’d miss 2-4 weekends a year for the last decade. On those weekends, I’d either be on vacation or something like that. On those weekend that I attended another church, I was usually checking them out and had an agenda for being there.
So, since I’ve been “out,” my eyes have been opened. It’s just easy to go to church. I figured that I would probably become a Saturday church attendee if I could… I like to have my mornings to sleep in. However, on the first weekend I had free I was amazed at how much time I had on Sunday morning.… Read the rest

I was a visitor, the first time in over 10 years
Posted on 12. Nov, 2007 by Kenny.
I was on vacation last week, so I didn’t actually attend church (unless you count Bedside Baptist with Rev. Sheets). Since my weekend was open this week, I decided that I would go check out someone else this weekend. I actually wanted to visit a church just 4 miles down the road that I’ve seen and heard a lot about over the years. It was a 3 year old church plant that’s been growing like crazy. I have a friend who is a ministry intern there and and I had seen pictures of their new facility. I had seen some pictures and from the looks of it, this church plant had an incredible looking environment for kids (without having to spend a fortune on Wacky World or something at that level).… Read the rest

The Multi-Site Advantage
Posted on 21. May, 2007 by Kenny.
 Sorry, I still have multi-site on the brain. I was thinking about my last two posts all weekend and felt that I needed to emphasize the last few sentences of my most recent post. This was the thing that I found so beautiful and so powerful about multi-site kids ministry.… Read the rest

My Multi-Site Evaluation
Posted on 18. May, 2007 by Kenny.
Okay, my last post was getting too long and I hadn’t even gotten to my honest evaluation. So, I decided to add a separate post of my evaluation. I’ve been intimately involved in a multi-site church for about 18 months on various levels of leadership. In addition, our style of multi-site leadership has changed over the past 18 months. So, this evaluation is simply my honest opinion based on my experiences.… Read the rest
