Comments on: ★ Pastor, How Do You Spend Your Week? http://www.toddhiestand.com/pastor-how-do-you-spend-your-week/03/ Field Notes on Bi-Vocational Church Leadership in Suburban America Sat, 04 Feb 2012 14:10:07 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: Wayne Park http://www.toddhiestand.com/pastor-how-do-you-spend-your-week/03/comment-page-1/#comment-45479 Wayne Park Sat, 28 Mar 2009 21:09:39 +0000 http://www.toddhiestand.com/?p=1695#comment-45479 Been thinking about this one. I would divide my time up in thirds between preaching / teaching, pastoral care, and leading / managing the church. As far as places: the suburban poor, nursing homes, prisons, working with the police as first responders, neighborhood community meetings, etc. The missional pastor is almost like the Catholic priest in this sense; maybe even the monks of yesteryear. The funny thing is, these things may not benefit <i>my church</i> directly per se, but it is nonetheless the ministry of the pastor to do so, provided she knows which community she is ministering in.
