Most clergy pride themselves on being biblically literate. We realize that biblical literacy is not a one-shot affair; we continue to dedicate time and energy to scriptural study throughout our careers.
May brings with it a sense of movement and meaning. We recognize Pentecost, a time that celebrates the birth of the church, renewal, and the empowering presence of the Holy Spirit in our daily lives. As we also observe Mental Health Awareness Month, we are reminded that caring for our well-being is not separate from our calling—it is essential to it. Together, these moments invite us to pause and reflect, especially in seasons marked by increasing demands and constant decisions.
In this issue of Tomorrow, we explore the real-life pressures many in our community face and offer pathways toward steadiness and support. For those in the sandwich generation, the challenge of caring for both aging parents and growing children can strain finances and emotional reserves. In “The Sandwich Generation: Managing the Caregiving Costs of Elder and Childcare,” we explore ways to navigate these dual responsibilities.
With the evolving nature of ministry and administration, churches are considering whether to incorporate AI strategies. In “Practical Ways to Embrace AI in Ministry,” we examine how emerging tools can simplify complex tasks and reduce administrative burdens for church staff. In “Ways to Manage Decision Fatigue with Intention,” we address an aspect of mental wellness that is a growing reality: the sheer number of decisions we face each day can quietly wear us down. The article provides techniques for reducing decision overload.
MMBB is also grateful to celebrate a meaningful milestone: our move to new office space at the Interchurch Center. In “MMBB Dedicates Its New Ministry Headquarters,” we share how we marked a significant step forward in our continued commitment to serving and supporting you. Finally, our Financial Fact reminds us that financial resilience remains a cornerstone of long-term financial wellness. If you’re recovering from financial challenges, “Five Ways to Rebuild Your Credit Score” offers practical steps forward.
With Memorial Day weekend behind us, it is a moment to exhale and step into the summer season ahead with gratitude and praise. Scripture reminds us of God’s sovereignty and bounty: “Let the heavens rejoice, let the earth be glad; let the sea resound, and all that is in it. Let the fields be jubilant, and everything in them; let all the trees of the forest sing for joy.” Psalm 96:11–12 (NIV). Enjoy the warmer weather and the beauty of God’s creation.
In Christ,
Perry J. Hopper
