A very, very practical and helpful post from Colin Marshall which is archived on the Briefing/Matthias Media site. These ten questions are the application/discussion points of the article. They cover a sense of ministry and mission which I hope we can further develop at mgpc next year.
- Why think about where to sit in church?
- How would your church members express their reasons for attending church?
- How do these reasons affect what they do in church?
- Who in your church is actively engaged in the ministry of the pew? How can you encourage and support them?
- What is the attitude of your members toward bringing others to church?
- What practises in your church meeting last Sunday would have alienated non-Christians?
- Next Sunday carefully observe who in church is ‘left out’ in some way.
- What are your plans for your ministry from the pew?
