First of all, the title of Tuesday’s blog is Spring and Re-Creation not Spring and Recreation. Though a signifcant part of my Re-Creation has come from recreation these last few months, I am more interested in the re-creation.
I had a great breakfast with a colleague and friend this morning. Jon is the youth director at the Salvation Army Church just down the block from us. He’s doing some very cool ministry there.
Over the last several months we’ve been getting together from time to time to chat about ministry and life. This morning we got together with the hopes of working up a multi-church youth lock-in for near the end of the school year. There are 6 churches within less than a mile of one another here on Columbia Ave. in Munster and there is very little interaction between the churches (I’ve ranted about this before). Our hope is simply to bring together Prebsyterian, Methodist, Episcopal, Reformed, and Salvation Army youth for an evening of fun and games, worship and prayer, and of course pizza. I have great hopes for what a cool event this could be and it seems to me that it could potentially serve as a catalyst for further Re-Creation in the community.
