Encouragement for Pastoring through the Tough Times
Thursday, May 19
1:30 p.m., CT

A pastor’s job isn’t easy. You face pressures and problems on a regular basis. So how do you handle the ministry when you are facing those terrible, horrible , no-good, very bad days (to borrow a phrase from Judith Viorst’s beloved children’s book)? In this free webinar, Jim Vogel, GARBC associate national representative, will draw from his 30 years of pastoral experience in sharing 10 concepts that have helped him survive (and even thrive!) in the midst of ministry hard times. Click here to register today!

 

Boost Your Church Nursery’s Appeal!
Often the first contact young families have with a church is the church nursery. The nursery’s appearance and its staff’s warm and professional demeanor will play a role in influencing the family’s return to your church. Have you updated your nursery lately?

RBP now offers an exciting nursery ministry kit called Lil’ Sprouts Club. The kit includes comprehensive materials for training nursery workers as well as lessons designed for babies and toddlers under two. Other resources such as nametags, bag tags, birthday cards, bibs, and teaching pictures make this resource a must-have for nurseries of all sizes. Order this attractive program!

When the Plate Is Empty: Dealing with Financial Crisis in Your Church
Church offerings are often predictable, short of what is needed, and can be discouraging. For many churches, our economic slump has only intensified the problem of meager giving. Attend this 2011 GARBC Conference workshop, led by GARBC Business Director Michael Nolan, and learn out-of-the-box approaches to dealing with the empty plate syndrome.
