| 1. | Should politics and religion mix? |
| |
- I think we should pray for our political leaders, regardless of whether or not their saved. I think that it is disgusting when political leaders use religion to suit their own gain and manipulate Scripture because they stand on their own. (Shawn Branch)
- not really but they do (Gerrard Fess)
- I think in a way they wind up having to mix...a lot of political laws and guidelines were based off Biblical ones. Everyone keeps saying there has to be a separation of church and state. But without the church the state would've had no laws. (Jenn Harmer)

| 2. | What was the last book you read that you just couldn't put down? |
| |
- Right now, I'm reading a book by Jean Vanier called "Drawn Into The Mystery Of Jesus Through The Gospel On John" and brother, is it ever powerful! I wanna read more of his books. (Shawn Branch)

- Chapterhouse: Dune (Jenn Harmer)

| 4. | Any recommendations for digital camera? video camera? |
| |
- You know what they say: "Go big or go home!" (Shawn Branch)
- Fuji. waiting to buy video (Gerrard Fess)
- Umm....I'm happy with the Canon Powershot 75 I have. If you have a large enough flash memory card, you can take short videos with it too. (Jenn Harmer)
|
| 5. | When or if not; why not? do you honor your volunteers and how? |
| |
- I'm hoping to do a retreat for all of the youth leaders in the spring. (Shawn Branch)
- Honor them beginning of year - gift and during services (Gerrard Fess)
- For things like Sunday School & VBS our church has a time in the church service to dedicate the volunteers before or as they're starting their service...and then when it's all over. But other committees and things don't get the same honoring. (Jenn Harmer)
|
| 6. | What is something that has made your ministry easier? |
| |
- God. If only I stay obedient and follow Him and do what He wants, things are sooo much easier. (Shawn Branch)
