One of the highlights was at lunch today when we had 8-10 youth ministers from the Southeast Pennsylvania Synod join us for lunch. It was casual, but the conversation was rich. We just spent time talking about their congregational ministry, hearing their stories, enjoying their company, laughing and connecting. Much of the thinking with these good people, as it is with many youth ministers around the country, I'm sure, is around the financial crisis and its impact on congregational finances. Extra pressure is going to be added to congregations (and their youth and family ministry leaders) to figure out ways of raising funds. This is going to be a significant challenge.
This is a good group of people, gathered here for this meeting. The Network's board is really committed to the health and vitality of the Network, and of the ecology of youth and family ministry as a whole.
More to come on their work...
