June Breakfast

Another South Tacoma Ministers breakfast has come and gone and thanks to Ken Schmidtke's health consciousness, we are none worse for the wear.  Thanks for the bananas, yogurt and strawberry's, our arteries are grateful.

Due to time constraints I will keep this recap short.  Once again it was good to catch up with one another's lives and pray for one another.  In the midst of that, YFC Ken asked the question, "Is this group doing what we'd hoped it would."

In the sense that it is helping each of us feel supported, connected and encouraged in our ministries then the answer was a strong yes.  Each of us remain glad to be a part of the group and feel it is worth continuing.  Our mission is "As ministers in South Tacoma, we desire to develop trust between one another so that when God presents us with an opportunity or challenge that is uniquely suited for us to collectively engage that we would be united enough to faithfully do so."  Our monthly breakfasts have helped us develop trust between one another to the point that we've collaborated on ministry at Gray, presentations from our churches and some marriage ministry stuff.  This has all been good.  On the other hand...


If the sense that this group is helping to connect the leaders of the 30 some churches in South Tacoma to develop trust that might lead to collaboration then the answer is no.   Despite our invitations, the group remains small (which is okay).  What to do.  Here is the plan for the next 3 months.


July 11 at 11:30 - Lunch at a Korean restaurant with John Kim.  Meet at Green Pastures at 11:30
August 15th at 8:30 - Monthly breakfast at Evangelical Reformed
September 11th at 8:30 - Prayer for the schools.  We will meet at Manitou at 8:30am for brief breakfast and then head out to pray for Gray, Manitou and Mt. Tahoma.  This is an event we want to invite as many ministers in the area to join us in as possible.  So we'll start working toward this now.  Please post any ideas you have regarding this in the comments section below.

Grace and Peace, 
Ken
