It’s Orange Week

Orange is my favorite color.

An avid Oklahoma State fan, I’ve (arguably) worn orange longer than Reggie Joiner himself.  (Though I admit not for the same purpose. )

Either way, Orange is a great color to represent the attitude we want to see in churches today.

Change

Transition

Partnership

Kenny Conley explains the Orange concept very well here.  I won’t rehash.

This week several kidmin blogs are focusing on the 5 components of the Orange Philosophy spawned by the ReThink Group.

• Integrated Strategy
• Refine the Message
• Elevate Community
• Reactivate the Family
• Leverage Influences

Each day this week I’ll post on my thoughts, perspective and/or experiences with each of these components.  Here is a list of other bloggers taking the Orange plunge.  This is a dynamic mix of leaders.  Some are involved in production & marketing of kids ministry, while others develop content, and yet others are just like me… the face parents see every weekend.  Each of us a different cog in the mechanism of kidmin.  But all of us with the same driving passion.  To see kids develop a loving pursuit of their Savior.

So, make sure you check them out.  It’s a rich contrast of perspectives on the same philosophy applied in varied church settings.  And their perspectives are worth your time.  Don’t miss them.
