Doing the Hokey Pokey

I was thinking today that the Hokey Pokey isn’t just a dance we used to do at the skating rink, but it is a dance that we should be doing in children’s ministry.

• Put your hands in, put your hands out… – Know what we can do and when we need to empower our team to do what they do best.
• Put your feet in, put your feet out… – Know when we need to be working and when we need a time of rejuvination.
• Put your whole self in, put your whole self out… – Know the difference between giving ourselves to the ministry and the ministry being all about us.
• Turn yourself about – Knowing when we need to go in a new direction and/or looking at something differently.

How are you dancing in ministry today?

That’s what it’s all about.
