Divided : Is age-segregated ministry multiplying or dividing the church?




I don't know how this one got past me. It looks like The National Center for Family-Integrated Churches (NCFIC) came out with this documentary sometime last year. This vimeo video was posted on July 19, 2010. I need to get on their mailing list. Anyway...

Even though they took us off of their church network list because we are Messianic (i.e., Torah observant), I still think that the NCFIC puts out some pretty good stuff. I continue to look to them for information on family  integration. This video looks pretty good to me. They've got Kevin Swanson and Voddie Baucham in the trailer. If Jarrod Michel and Mark Fox are in the documentary, then I know it's going to be good.

We will have a screening at FRMC very soon. Stay tuned...

Family Promotions and Additions...

I apologize for taking so long to make this announcement, I know it should have been made sometime ago...

Aaron Michael, former Little Brother

Margaret and I would like to recognize our youngest child, Aaron Michael, for exceeding expectations in his role as Little Brother. When given the opportunity to be the Little Brother and the Baby Of The Family, Aaron stepped up to the challenge with enthusiasm. His hard work and dedication at being annoying to his older siblings while maintaining a high level of cute and cuddliness has earned him recognition in this vital role. He has mastered the art of asking for help with tasks like:

  • Getting a drink of water
  • Tying his shoes
  • Going to the restroom
  • Buckling his car-seat

Finally, Aaron has worn his brother's hand-me-downs with honor, an accomplishment worthy of recognition.

On June 7, 2011, or in the event that his replacement arrives sooner, Aaron will be officially promoted to the office of Big Brother.

Congratulations Aaron! I know you will make us proud.

Moses Michael, the NEW Little Brother

Aaron's replacement, Moses Michael, is expected to arrive on June 7, 2011. We are looking forward to meeting this new addition to the Gonzales Family.
