Ministry is going well at Palouse Federated. We have been having a lot of "first-timers" in worship lately.
We are working on getting things ready for our fall schedule. We have a lot brewing. We are doing a youth service day in Spokane at the end of this month and doing a booth at Palouse Days in September- but the big projects are revamping our adult discipleship, aka Sunday school and bible studies. Right now the plan is to move to a seminar/workshop model of adult discipleship= more to come on that later. The other big thing is worship development. I think there will eventually be a Wednesday evening prayer night- that is a flexible deal- open to the community- maybe it will even have a worship/music element- but mainly it will be a place for prayer and quiet before God.
The possibility for a sunday evening service is also "in the works." This would be done to have a different time option for the people of our area to find a Christian worship home- it would also be a different style (probably more liturgical) than our Sunday morning service.
If you are reading this and have any opinions or suggestions on our developing worship and discipleship let me know.
