UPDATE on the meeting today:
A great time this afternoon meeting one another, talking about what each person had been or is doing or plans to do.
what we'd seen other churches doing etc.
Heard updates, affirmed the power of drama not just on the audience but the way it brings people together with the shared experience - lifelong lasting impressions.
(regardless of the professionalism - it still was a catalytic event)
A new youth drama ministry held auditions. A "using drama to teach children" workshop is now in the works for August. The Voice theatre company is branching out to do shows in the community in Chinese. We discussed things like the problem of youth not having the capacity to sit for long periods or tolerate simple, so churches working at Big production values and then there's the small churchplant where worship is simply singing, preaching, communion, casual welcomes and announcements every week and it's growing like i've never seen with teenagers enjoying it.
Oh, we covered a lot of territory in 2 hours.
But we all had the unanimous conviction that it's all pretty unimportant compared to simply walking with Christ our Saviour.
When the gals who exchanged business cards cc me on the plans they make, or the websites they've found, or other resources they've discovered, I'll post it up on the blog.
Please pray for my family and I in Turkey this next week! Let me know how I can be praying for you - especially Easter preparations! We'll come back in time to come watch and worship with you, so if you're using drama Easter weekend, please let me know! Also, if you want me to take you off this group, let me know that too! Don't want to spam you!
