(02:15) we're going thru a dry spell
(02:37) ...note, in online service photo album this is called "Conversation time"

        ...something to look at after charge conference
(03:30) suggest some form of outreach

(04:16) advantage of big churches is having paid leaders of activities
        ...volunteerism at smaller churches is slowing down
