Recap from Sunday's Meeting

Brothers,

In case you were unable to make the meeting yesterday, I wanted to recap it for you. We basically discussed the overview of the internship, including our vision and new additions to the program this year. Here's a brief summary of the new features of the internship:

• Alethia Ministries: We hope to arrange multiple interviews with pastors and church leaders across Houston and beyond. We think you will be well served by your interactions with these leaders, especially since you'll be able to ask them any questions that you like!



• Books for this Year: We think the two books that we are going to concentrate on this year will be Worship Matters, by Bob Kauflin and The Reformed Pastor, by Richard Baxter. We'll be doing Worship Matters in the fall and RP in the Spring. Again, most of our interaction on these books will be online. (The church will purchase the books! Don't buy them...unless you already own them...then tell me ASAP!)



• Meetings: We are hoping to meet together for bi-weekly sermon and service reviews as well as general discussion and prayer. So, we will ask you to contribute to the blog each week and we will have actual meetings every other week. If you could comment on this post as to a convenient time to meet, that would be most helpful! After we get feedback, we'll post our first meeting and reading assignment.



• Church Visits: There will be a schedule posted here ASAP of our church visits for the fall.



• Elders Meetings: You are invited to attend all the elders meetings (monthly), but we want you each to come to at least one meeting where we will spend some time specifically encouraging you and listening to you speak about your calling and future in ministry. So, we'll keep you posted on this when it's your turn, but you can come and observe all the meetings if you'd like to!

Billy, feel free to include anything that I left out. You all should have received an invitation to be an author on this blog, so you can post your thoughts as well.

Stay tuned for our first meeting dates, church visitation dates, interviews and reading assignments.

Blessings!

Travis
