   • Andy – Next summer, Phillips Street will do a VBS format for their Wednesday evening children’s classes (5th grade and under) in June and July!

     Phillips Street will also spend a month focused on seed sowing.

   • Wayne – Nesbitt has a week-long VBS each year. They also have an annual lectureship. Implementing a live stream is a goal for the future.

4. What is your favorite thing about preaching?

   • Wes – Being able to be there when someone “gets it,” when it “clicks.”

   • Andy – Being involved in people’s lives, and being a part of a longer ministry at a local congregation.

   • Wayne – Wayne says, “I’m with you guys.” Being involved in people’s lives makes ministry even more rewarding.
