My Annual Spring College Ministry Announcement

 Wait for it.....here it comes.......it is time to try IT!  What is IT?

It is that thing that you always wanted to try, change, or do in your ministry, but just believed it would not work, could not be done, etc, etc. From now until School is out is the time to try it.

The most likely experiment is with your large group worship event.

-Try a different time.

-Try a different night.

-Try a different place.

-Try a different format.

-Try a different speaker.

It doesn't have to be all of these.  It could be just one or two.

It does not have to be your large group worship event.  What is ONE Experiment you need to try? After Spring Break is the perfect time. Maybe your students have always wanted to do it and you just think it is a bad idea.  But, they really want to try it.  If it does not risk killing the ministry....what about it?

What about your church’s College Sunday School? Different approach, place, breakfast, all student led, divided by classes, guys and gals?

Why now?  If it works, it gives you time to learn from it, plan, and adjust it for the fall.

Think hard.....what is something you should try?  WARNING:  If it is real way out there, get your supervisor in on it and bought in.

"Behold, I am doing a new thing; now it springs forth, do you not perceive it?  I will make a way in the wilderness and rivers in the desert."  Isaiah 43:19 (ESV)
