- i am pondering what sort of relations do a postmodern model of youth ministry have with a methodist church and it’s laity driven history.. and the trouble that brings about because it goes against just about every other model of youth ministry out there..??
- i am wondering what all i need to do to start doing a to-do-list to make sure i get stuff done during the rest of this week.
- i am thinking i want to get a new little tv for our bedroom, one that has a remote that works and the sound doesn’t go funny when you have at a low volume.
- not sure what books i want to try to finish reading this week… it is a pretty open week work wise, so i’ve got some opportunities here.
- with some odd church activities tomorrow, we have no regular programming.. do i go and do some observations of other churches or just take the night off…??
- i am going to move into using the prayerbook from the iona community this week.. that is generally a month or two earlier than i have done in the past (usually start in summer)..
Gav, what do you do with the Iona prayer book? How do you incorporate it into your youth meetings?
jim is intrigued…

hey jim, if you have a copy or check out a copy of their prayerbook, it has two prayer times (morn/eve). it has some simple liturgies that can be done as repeated responses, scriptures change with the church calendar which can be doled out for others to read, there are built in times of meditations that work well for the group. i have generally used it over the summer due to it’s small size and the way i can adapt it quickly to prayer or worship times for the group. not to mention, for my own prayer times.

“postmodern model” = oxymoron? 😉

oxymoron?.. hmm, maybe, but i think you still plan for organic growth and activity. so therefore, there is a model in there somewhere, it just might change.
