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”.

Josh Riebock, the author of “My Generation”, filmed this quick video to lead us in the discussion of his book for this month’s Network gathering. Watch and jot down a few notes before we gather. I am looking forward to your responses…

At this month’s network gathering, Erin S. and Bald Bob (our affectionate title for him) facilitated a discussion on social justice and outreach. There was SO MUCH said that morning but I didn’t have my laptop open (because of the inaccessibility of an A/C plug-in where we were sitting) and wasn’t able take notes. The gist, though, was this:
Our kids need to be encouraged to NOT “just be comfortable” in their faith-walk without “walking out their faith” in the streets and outside of the church building. There was MUCH discussion on the best ways to facilitate this, but the bottom line for me? Moving my students from IN-action to ACTION. I don’t want to raise up a bunch of pew-sitters/bench-warmers in the Body of Christ. I want, as a student pastor, to help facilitate a burning desire inside our teenagers to use their abilities, talents, and gifts to LOVE OTHERS (and there are MANY opportunities and different ways to do that).
Here’s a couple articles I came across this week that took me back to Wednesday’s discussion:
