Had a great shepherd's meeting tonight. We spent some time interceeding for the people in our congregation. Then, each man shared how the other shepherds could pray for him. In other words, what were the spiritual issues in our lives right now? There were confessions, tears and genuine heart issues shared. You see, we are trying to shepherd the flock while we shepherd each other. Then, we spent some time praying for each other.
We also discussed the third chapter of the book "Like A Shepherd Lead Us". (Great book, BTW!) The chapter's theme was to, as leaders, move from the boardroom to the living room. The book reminded us to pray with our people. Some great ideas flowed. A few are: to invite whole families to pray with us on Tuesday nights. We want to keep inviting people at the end our worship assemblies to come and pray with a shepherd. We will divide the congregation into shepherding groups - each shepherd will contact those in his "group" and ask what the needs are.
Went home feeling really blessed to be a part of the this leadership team.
