Youth Workers and Youth Leaders Workshop

Good Afternoon All,

I wanted to provide the information for the Youth Workers and Youth Leaders Workshop occuring this Saturday Feb. 27th, 2010 at Zion Travelers MB Church  The workshop will be from 10:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. Our Facilitators, Sis. Theresa Byrd, Young People's Director of the Mo. State WMU has confirmed for this event.  It will be very embarassing for ZT Project: NeXgeneration if our Facilitator arrives and we (Youth Workers and Youth Leaders) do not support the event.  If you are a Youth Leader or Youth Worker with Project: NeXgeneration Youth Ministry,  Rev. Jones has strongly requested your attendance.  As Youth Workers we must be better equipted to lead God's youth.  Sis. Theresa Byrd is the most vibrant and energetic Youth Director I know.  Respond back to me and let me know if you will be attending. 

The Youth Dept. will provide the meat for lunch.  I am asking each person to provide a side dish.  ZT is participating in a church-wide fast....therefore... we are asking all side dishes to be fruits, vegetables or whole-wheat Pasta's and Breads.  Please respond back to me, by Wednesday Feb. 24th and tell me what your your side dish will be. 

We want to be a blessing to Sis. Byrd.  Please bring a love offering of $10 (if you can).  She is traveling from Liberty, Mo. to be with us and we need to be a blessing to her. 

Our topics for the workshop are:

1.    The Commitment & Responsibility of the Youth Worker

Leadership Style (Draw vs. Drive)

             Personality Match

            Continuing Christian Education

            Youth Relationship Development

2.    The Youth of Yesterday vs. Youth of Today

editors note: I have glanced at this site and have to add my sentiments to those expressed above. I cried at some of the stories! (happy tears of course!)
