We constantly hear that we need to, "think outside the box." Looking for the latest and greatest innovative program out there on the market to increase the size and scope and reach of our ministry. While this might need to occur, sometimes what you really need is tried and true, solid stuff. Stuff that is actually totally inside the box.
Ask yourself these questions as you look at planning the season ahead:
1) What has worked really well in the past year?
2) What is "classic" that would be fun to revive?
3) What were people talking about after last summer?
4) What is MY favorite event of the year?
5) Where did we see the most life change in the last season?
6) What is easy to plan but brings the ministry a big win?
Don't ever forget that the church was built around "Tradition." If we lose what we traditionally do for the latest and greatest, we might be doing more harm than good.
