The Need to Make Changes in Ministry
Sometimes, even good activities need to be dissolved or seriously changed when when an activity or event is no longer effective at doing what it is supposed to accomplish. We can get so attached to what we want to see happen that we dig in our feet and take on the “it is MY ministry” mentality. Even something good can take our focus off of what is best. Read how to stop the “it’s MY ministry” mentality and sometimes blow things up to fulfill our purpose for disciplemaking.

Great post, Melanie. Yes, it
Great post, Melanie. Yes, it is messy! I can't imagine MOPS not being art of the ministry mix at the church. Yet, I see why change needs to occur and agree it's a good thing. Thanks for your thoughts!
