Want to take your ministry communication to a new level? That's the focus of my training tonight. 100% optimized for UUs, but open to interfaith friends. Details via my @LeadingCong account: https://twitter.com/LeadingCong/status/1149073510645608448 …
Reading this tweet makes me want to organize a spiritual insight council to live tweet advice during very popular tv shows. That would be an awesome ministry

First, you’re alright all the time. And yes, I have had that experience looking over old journals. Especially interesting when old insights speak to present struggles.
Members of my monthly training program for congregations have permission to show training recordings to leaders within their congregation. See attached @LeadingCong https://peterbowden.mykajabi.com/leading-congregations-monthly …
I'd love for your ministry team and all who communicate on behalf of your congregation to get together in August, watch clips from this "Ministry of Communication" training, and discuss. That would make for a very productive start-up session.
UU leaders: My online training this Wednesday is designed to help take your congregation's communications to the next level! See attached for the agenda. Enroll to participate live or access recordings. https://uuplanet.org/2019/07/02/july-10-the-ministry-of-communication/ … #LeadingCongregations @LeadingCong
On Facebook someone asked if my July 10th session on "The Ministry of Communication" would be helpful for congregations with new ministries starting up in August. ABSOLUTELY!!! You can participate live and later in August play back clips to discuss. https://leadingcongregations.com/2019/07/02/the-ministry-of-communication/ …
As always this training will be available on-demand for my #LeadingCongregations monthly program members. Want to join us live and access the training library? Talk to your congregation about a membership. It is very affordable. https://peterbowden.mykajabi.com/p/leading-congregations-monthly-live …
UU LEADERS: Next Wednesday, July 10th my monthly training is on "The Ministry of Communication." On the agenda: Integrating media into your ministry mindset, building media teams, collaboration, and more! #LeadingCongregations @LeadingCong https://leadingcongregations.com/2019/07/02/the-ministry-of-communication/ …

Exactly! Sounds like they're suffering vision atrophy. When small groups lose vision, relationships pull them inward, and without the outward pull of a larger mission/vision they become isolated cliques, clubs, and family groups. Value in relationships, but there's more.
