First Youth Meeting

Hey guys. 


Just a question. Are we still planning on doing the youth meeting on the 13th? If we aren't I feel like we should plan another day to get together. Haha I know Zac and Lance have been trying to get together for a while but the day is drawing closer.

Just throwing out a line.

No due to time constraints, and not having a solid meeting behind us... we're not putting anything together for the 13th. Hopefully in the near future we can get everyone together and start piecing together how all of this is going to look.

I met with Pastor Dave this morning, and will continue to communicate with him week to week about where we're at and about some of our ideas. I think starting out we would be good for putting together a bi-weekly youth gathering and then once to twice a month we can set up a meeting between the six of us. Of course we're all very busy right now... but we have to make time for this and realize it as a huge opportunity for the youth.

Surely we have a lot of talent in the room between the six of us but if we're not communicating (even on the simplest of things) then we're poised to fail. I can only speak for myself- I know we're all really busy right now... but when I'm not working, or managing life in general (marriage, pregnancy, etc) I'm working towards my passion, bettering myself by studying and looking to utilize that in the near future with these gatherings. It's really about becoming better with communication and about being passionate enough for this that we might have to forsake other appointments, events.

So what do you guys think... at least one meeting each month, bi-weekly youth gatherings and on off weekends we can set up "event" type stuff? "events" being camping, barbeques, all-nighters... etc It would also be good if we figure out what's the best way to communicate with one another- we have about a million different ways to communicate but it really seems difficult to hit everybody all at once with information.

If you like utilizing this forum for expressing concerns, ideas, etc... let me know or if you have another communication tool then make it known.

Again... like I've mentioned before- I'm really looking forward to working, and growing in fellowship with everyone over the course of the summer but I'm also very passionate about this. At 26 I'm ready to go... I know what it is that God wants for me and I'm ready to exercise the drive (and most often the sacrifice) that's needed as well. So if I'm forward about some things it's just because I come from a management/leadership background and I just really feel that Gods presence is on me and on us with this youth group. I look forward to everything, and hopefully we can get together soon!

(somebody deck this place out- I'm okay with someone personalizing this to make it our own place to talk...lol)
