As a result of our regional youth worker poll and a team decision made at last month’s Network gathering, there are same changes we need to announce.

First up, note the updated monthly gathering time and day on the poster above (click to download the full size graphic).  We are going to be meeting on the first THURSDAY of every month at from 11:30 AM to 1:00 PM.  The location hasn’t changed; we’ll still be at the Alternative Fuel Coffee House in the big meeting room.  Buy your lunch and hang out/fellowship with us from 11:30 to noon and then we’ll move into the discussion/training time over the lunch hour.  Spread the word!

Next, several youth workers have agreed to take on Network tasks as a team to help facilitate us going into the summer and fall of 2010 as strong as ever.  We’re in the process of typing up job descriptions for all the new roles which will be re-assigned and affirmed by the Network annually.  We’ll post those in document form as soon as they are all put together and the final Network roles have been confirmed (a couple are still praying/making a decision on it).

May’s Network gathering will be on Thursday, May 6th @ 11:30 AM.  We’ll be talking about “Summer Ministry Strategies”.

Get your tickets at the Civic Center box office, the Alternative Fuel Coffee House, or online at http://gotmine.com.
