1. “There may be bad things that happen, but the bedrock of our faith is that empty tomb,” said Jamie Dew, president of New Orleans Baptist Theological Seminary.

 2. The National Survey of Religious Leaders report revealed 35% of all clergy in the U.S. serve bivocationally, holding an additional job outside of their congregational ministry.

3. Your church can be known this summer for something exciting, fun and life-changing — but only if you promote it with strategy, consistency and heart.
