I was blessed to be part of two special events for youth last weekend: an overnighter at Saint Timothy's and the Captive Free concert at Bethel (Jamestown). What made them so special? First of all, both were very well organized, and second, both events were open to other churches in the conference. As a result, youth from SLYM and First Lutheran took part along with young people from Saint Timothy's and Bethel. The youth enjoyed spending time with peers from other churches and I can personally attest as a youth worker how much I enjoyed bringing youth to some ready-made events. (And I will return the favor, too.) There are truly some wonderful opportunities happening for fellowship, sharing, and learning.
Speaking of which, the new Conference Youth Ministry Team is forming--and we want YOU to be a part of it!
It is for young people in grades 9 – 12 and caring adults, too. We're getting together this Saturday, November 19 from 9:00am - 11 am at First Lutheran Church, 120 Chandler St., Jamestown, to get acquainted and get input into what kind of events we'll put on over the next few months. Come check it out and decide if you want to share your gifts as part of the team!
Your voice matters--and we're a group that can make it happen.
Contact Ian Eastman if you have any questions: (716) 720-8584 or ifeastman@yahoo.com.
P.S. By the way--please pass along this invite if you know of a young person or adult who wants to be a part of some exciting ministry in the conference!
