All very good stuff! You have some excellent and very practical tips for connecting with your congregation (especially seniors). The tools you mentioned are great ways to communicate your love for your people. Generally the rule is with younger folks they place a premium on authenticity and community while the older folks appreciate respect. Being relatively new to my church body as you are to yours it is imperative that we earn the right to speak truth into peoples lives. My prayers are with you. May God grant the opportunity to reach the world with His gospel. Your partner in the Gospel, Jonathan So I finally made it to comment on the blog. All very good stuff!
