Trends and ideas: Preacher proposes option for declining lectureships

by Matthew Morine, pulpit minister with the Castle Rock, Colo., church
Republished, with permission, from his weblog.

An elder was in my office yesterday, and we got to talking about lectureships.

This elder is highly connected in the church, and he goes to various lectureships each year. He was talking about how the numbers are down in some of the lectureships across the brotherhood. He made the comment, “It is more for old people now.”

This is not always true, I still like attending lectures, but the point is still true in general.

So if lectureships are not working, what will work with young people or young ministers? Read more

‘Baptism365′ website to register daily baptisms

PRESTONSBURG, Ky. (BNc) – A preacher wants to register baptisms around the world on his website Baptism365, as a demonstration that God is adding to the church daily.

Rick Kelly, preacher for the Prestonsburg congregation, wanted to write on the Internet, but hit two roadblocks. First, he said, “there are plenty of other beneficial writings in the brotherhood. If I did blog, I wanted to provide some other kind of service. Also, I wanted to do something that was more self-sufficient, something that wouldn’t fail if I had an overly busy week in ministry; something that could continue easily, even if I was sick; something someone else could pick up if I was away; something that would keep going almost by itself.” Read more
