Hey…Jude: Ages and Stages of Loving Fellowship – A Summary

Ken looks back at the month of September and his series on Jude: “Ages and Stages of Loving Fellowship”.  Today Ken does a summary of the of the ages and stages that make up our church family:

  1. Busy Managers – ages 21-54
  2. Smart Pretirees – ages 0-20
  3. Free Influencers – ages 55-70
  4. Grand Retirees – ages 71+

Ken’s goal in this series was to help us understand those who are in a different stage of life than we are; to be able to love them, as Jesus taught us to do. Where do you fit in?  Tune in to this Podcast Series and find out for yourself.

Hey…Jude: Ages and Stages of Loving Fellowship – Stage 4: Grand Retirees

Today, Ken wraps up his series on the demographics of our church with a look at our oldest members – ages 71 to 100.  Yes, we actually have a centenarian.  In his analysis, Ken refers to this group as the ‘Grand Retirees”.  In this week’s message, Ken looks at their interests, needs and church focus.  The full text of Jude is the background inspiration for today’s message; and this whole series.

In Part 3 of Ken’s demographic analysis of our church population, he looks at a group he has called “Free Influencers”.  This is a group between the ages of 55 and 70.  As with the earlier groups, he delves into the characteristics, challenges, drivers and dynamics of this group.  He looks at their needs, with respect to the church, life and love.  Once again, Jude is the inspiration for this week’s message.

Ken continues his demographic analysis of the ages and stages of our churches congregation.  This week he looks at our youngest group of parishioners – the 0-20 age group.  Ken has dubbed these the “Smart Pretirees”.  He looks at he drivers and dynamics of this group with an eye to how we can all love them and understand them.  This series of messages uses Jude as its inspiration.

Hey…Jude: Ages and Stages of Loving Fellowship – Stage 1: Busy Managers!

With Labour Day behind us and the kids beginning to settle into their back to school routines, Pastor Ken embarks on new theme for his messages during the month of September.  This month, Ken looks at the demographics of our church.  This is not just a study of the numbers, fancy graphs and coloured charts.  Rather, it is a look at the major stages in our lives.  The epic drivers and dynamics that shape us and effect who we are and how we deal with others.  Ken’s goal in this series is to help us understand those who are in a different stage of life than we are; to be able to love them, as Jesus taught us to do.

Throughout September Ken will use Scripture from Jude to look at:

  1. Busy Managers – ages 21-54
  2. Smart Pretirees – ages 0-20
  3. Free Influencers – ages 55-70
  4. Grand Retirees – ages 71+

This week we start with the single largest of these groups within our church – Busy Managers!
