My Young Adult Ministry leadership team met today for our monthly meeting. A few of us was able to do lunch together and we all congregated back in our make-shift “board room” after the 2nd service ended. The meeting was efficient and we got lots done in the 90-minutes. This is my new crew of people that will help me not just get the work done but “start a movement”… a movement of young adults who will be passionate and educated about their faith and not be apologetic for standing up for their God. I like this crew I’m working with. They’ve really done well to help me get settled and integrated into the Young Adult Ministries.
So, what’s next? Here are some things on my ministry plate for the next few months:
-Small Group Leaders’ Training Manual and clinics, starting at the end of this month
-Moving YAM ever so discreetly and strategically into phase 2 of its structuring (Feb-June)
-Prepping materials for Advent 2009 worship services
-Biggest YAM outreach event of the year: the Christmas social
-Solidify more help/personnel for childcare
-Continue to build up relationship with my YAM leadership core
-Involvement in Watchnight Service — our church’s New Year’s Eve worship service
-Involvement in SOAR 2010, a joint missions crew involved in doing outreach during the Winter Olympic games
-Solidify a retreat ground for YAM’s first retreat in May
-Pass off more of the administrative work of YAM to leadership team so that I can focus more on the teaching and the connecting with members
-Continue to fly low on the radar and not poke any bears
Hmm…is there anything else that I should be doing???
