Training Leaders on Purpose
By Michael C. Mack | Published 10/6/2002 | Leadership Development , October 2002 Unrated

Why Bother if Extra Grace is Required?
By Pat J. Sikora | Published 10/5/2002 | Community Building , October 2002 Unrated

By Dr. Jim Jackson | Published 10/3/2002 | Community Building , October 2002 Unrated

By Bryan Parris | Published 10/2/2002 | Community Building , October 2002 Unrated
The words he was greeted with on Sunday morning hit him like a brick, "You’ve got to do something about Kathy, She’s driving us all crazy!"
Kids and Small Groups - Handling Difficult Children
By Daphne Kirk | Published 10/1/2002 | October 2002 , Community Building , Children and Youth Unrated
I have found that many leaders of small groups think that children will bring with them difficulties that can only be resolved by having an "expert" on hand.
