So what you’re trying to say is that my blog provided a Sunday School lesson for a week? That’s awesome. I’m a little jealous, I miss teaching students week to week.
Yeah, this was one of those black hole weeks where we were in between topics. I’ve been wanting to do something on the whole idea of rethinking church and then this week I came across all three of those posts and decided to use them as part of my material.
It actually will work really well with the mini-series we are going to start to prepare for our mission trip the last week in June.
Oh, and I didn’t even get to use your “Church of the World” post this week. We ran out of time. I might bring it back up on the mission trip as we transition back to home.
