Should Churches Have A "Ministry Year"? - Episode 208
In a spirit of semper reformanda and self-examination, this week we take some time to consider the modern church practice of thinking in terms of the "ministry year", where a congregation's programs and ministries follow the general schedule of the school year. Is this a wise or even a biblically defensible practice? What are the strengths and weaknesses of such an approach? Does ministry ever stop for the Christian or for the church? Join us for this week's episode as we think through these questions from a theological and pastoral perspective.
