Author’s Note - "This book represents what I have learned over the course of some three decades of leading, managing, and consulting to organizations and programs in both the public and nonprofit sectors, where I worked to build organizational competencies and capacity to improve the lives and prospects of marginalized, weakened, or otherwise disempowered individuals, families, groups, communities, and populations. Since I am addressing a wide audience with differing levels of exposure to the discipline of performance management, I will err on the side of explaining at a level of detail that will help newcomers to this approach understand and implement it.
Nevertheless, I hope that this document will also be of interest and use to those with greater experience in this area, and that especially the examples of the work of front-line organizations will be a valuable resource and inspiration to them. .......
I hope that this will be a useful guide for those who are interested in understanding performance management, those who want to learn how to develop performance-management systems, and those who are looking for practical knowledge about how to implement such systems in order to “manage to outcomes,” as Mario Morino puts it so well in his book Leap of Reason. I think of it as a “how-to” manual for leaders, managers, and staff working in directservice organizations to help them work reliably and sustainably at high levels of quality, efficiency, and effectiveness. I hope it will also be useful to organizational consultants occupied in the area of performance management. The text is resolutely practical, a synthesis of my experiences into a matter-of-fact approach to both strategic and tactical (day-to-day) performance management."

What Should be the Christian View of Anime?Joe Muraguri
We will learn what Anime is and see what a Christian should consider before watching anime movies? We will also learn a little bit of Shintoism religion and hentai (the craze of internet pornography today).
In Jude 17-23 Jude shifts from piling up examples of false teachers from the Old Testament to a series of practical exhortations that flow from apostolic instruction. He preserves for us what may well have been part of the apostolic catechism for the first generation of Christ-followers. In these instructions Jude exhorts the believer to deal with 3 different groups of people: scoffers who are "devoid of the Spirit", believers who have come under the influence of scoffers and believers who are so entrenched in false teaching that they need rescue and pose some real spiritual risk for the rescuer. In all of this Jude emphasizes Jesus' call to rescue straying sheep, leaving the 99 safely behind and pursuing the 1.

Homily: The Solemnity of the Most Holy Trinity Sunday 2024.docxJames Knipper
Countless volumes have been written trying to explain the mystery of three persons in one true God, leaving us to resort to metaphors such as the three-leaf clover to try to comprehend the Divinity. Many of us grew up with the quintessential pyramidal Trinity structure of God at the top and Son and Spirit in opposite corners. But what if we looked at this ‘mystery’ from a different perspective? What if we shifted our language of God as a being towards the concept of God as love? What if we focused more on the relationship within the Trinity versus the persons of the Trinity? What if stopped looking at God as a noun…and instead considered God as a verb? Check it out…

Why do you think volunteers The truth about your volunteer team is that the effectiveness of your ministry
is limited to its capacity to care for students. The more people praying, serving,

one you come in contact with is a potential youth ministry volunteer. When
potential volunteers are personally invited by a church peer (as opposed
to the professional—that is a paid minister), the chance for accepting the
invitation increases. God has the people within a church body to care for
the teenagers. They’re in your church, so you just have to find them. If that
last sentence surprises you, ask yourself who cares about your students
more: you or God? When God gives students to a ministry to care for, it’s
probably safe to assume that God has the caring adults to shepherd those
students. You just need to be willing to help find them.
Caution: When inviting people to join your volunteer team, be sure you’re
aware of the process of becoming a volunteer. You’ll want to tell them what
to do next when you find a person who expresses interest. Healthy churches
have a volunteer process in place to protect students from people with
impure motives. If you’re not sure whether your ministry has a volunteer
application process, ask your lead youth worker.
