College Ministry Lessons

The transition to college ministry is going to continue to be one of challenges and lessons learned, some the hard way others with a measure of humor.
The first lesson, when you do a mission project in which you hand out brownies late at night at the library the week before spring break...go ahead and make a sign that says pot-free brownies to wear around your neck. A student and I handed brownies out at the back door of the library from 10-11:30 last night. It was a cool experience to see different people's reactions. Most were very polite even if they didn't want our goodies. I would estimate that 20-25% of them asked if the y were "special", meaning did they have marijuana in them. 
I guess next time we should only do cookies!

Are you not doing Student Ministry anymore or are you doing both now? Love the brownie story. Crazy.

Both for now, we are close to calling a new youth minister at which time I will be full-time college.
