Leader Meeting Wednesday 24th, Cafe, 6:15
Posted by: | CommentsHey Leaders,
I am excited about meeting with you all tomorrow night in the Cafe to talk about some of the exciting things that are on the way this year at QSBC!
Please take some time to drop a quick email note or call to your Sunday School team about being at this important meeting. We will meet together, and then you’ll have time to plan as a team for the month ahead.
We’ll also take time to pray:
Pray that the Lord will use us in ministry in NW OKC!
Pray that the Lord will use us to touch individual lives this Sunday at QSBC!
See you at the Cafe,
Ray
Prepare for Sunday.
Posted by: | CommentsHey Leaders,
Just a quick word to prepare for this coming Sunday. It is a Sunday just like any Sunday, February 21st. But, all Sundays are important. All Sundays require our best. So what can you do to be in the zone for Sunday?
1. Be praying. Pray frequently that the Lord will fill you and use you. Pray that He will inspire and influence your Sunday School team as you minister on Sunday morning. Remember, try to pray together as a leadership team before your Sunday School hour begins Sunday morning.
2. Study. If you are the teacher study hard. And not only the lesson…study:
Your group, know who you are teaching. Are there current needs or crisis that the lesson speaks to directly. Do you need to take special time for prayer in class for a particular concern. Also, in knowing your group, do they have a dazed look, or nod off? Study ways to teach, shake it up. Use discussion, use a Q and A time, do buzz groups where they take questions about the passage and dive in and find answers, use a unique starter, or a special activity at the end to seal the point.
3. Call your guests from last Sunday and any members who may have been out a Sunday or two. Let people know they are missed; that we care for them. The power of an invite, call, contact is huge.
I love you all and your commitment to shepherd at QSBC!

Quick recap of some things to focus on from our last meeting.
As stated in the video, here is a recap of our first leader meeting of the year. Here are some key points:
1. Focus on what is going well in Sunday School, and what is not. Make tweaks to your ministry with members, visitors, and the teaching time. Meet as a team and talk about the good, the bad, and the ugly and change. This is a guilt free zone, let’s do our best!
2. Focus on prayer. On our recent trip to visit some churches, I came away knowing that I need to spend more concerted, focused time in prayer personally and with those that I minister. Ask the Lord to fill you and use you! The challenge I gave is to meet, this week, as a team to pray before you have your Sunday School small group. Let’s trust the Master’s promises!
I love you all and I am thankful to serve you!
