Sharing Space

All ministries share space sometimes. Whether your church has a Weekday program, open your building to community events, or have children's choir meeting in the same room as a Bible study, every ministry has to find creative ways to maintain multiple ministries in singular spaces. In this episode, Val and Virginia talk about strategies that can help keep the peace and get the most function out of your space.
