A few years back we prayerfully and strategically shifted our age-graded ministries to a family-equipping model. There are essential milestones for children, parents, and families each year and the culminate with the family blessing upon their child at high school graduation. 1/6
This is much different than the tradition of bringing graduates up on the stage (some we haven't seen in years) to give them a book they won't read and a gift card to some coffee shop or online store. It takes more prep. 2/6

You know who doesn't care about the latest SBC issues?
- The senior adult man in my church whose wife is under Hospice care & going to die very soon.
- The woman in my church ignoring "Valentine's Day" b/c her husband ignored his vows & ran away w/ another.

- The 9 mos. pregnant first-time mom-to-be who is praying that she & her husband are ready (they're not, but that's okay.)
- The homeless man who stops by our church weekly to work so the $ we give him isn't a handout (his stipulation.)
