Specialty, Not Penalty

A tweet by Thom Rainer led us to an important article related to this subject HERE.

SO worth reading if you haven't already seen it! 
(Just click on HERE above to read it for yourself.)


"Being a small church pastor isn’t my penalty for something I’ve done, or am doing wrong. 

It’s my specialty. My niche. And, since embracing it, 

it’s becoming an area of great joy and passion – even expertise,"

says the writer of this article, Karl Vaters

Now, here's an interesting sidelight!

Since  retiring from a small church pastorate 

and moving to a part-time position of Visitation Pastor in a larger congregation, 

I find it interesting that the larger congregation is re-naming

 its Sunday School classes as "Small Churches"!
