One Month in the books... (This week's responsibilities at the bottom of post)

Well, believe it or not we survived our first month of youth group! Here are the highlights for me (not in order):

• We gained kids every week we met! Started with 3, then up to 5, then up to 6! At this rate we'll have 100 kids by Christmas!!!
• Seeing the kids and leaders get super PUMPED up at Elevate!
  
• We got a "Youth Room" started complete with carpet!
• Jeff's led worship twice! And the kids are not far off themselves.
• We made $20 on food!
• Moving towards some amazing partnership opportunities with New Start Ministries.
  

Some areas for growth (also not in order):

• Working on consistent attendance, and creating a place where kids will want to bring their friends.
  
• Working on more buy in from the parents and the rest of the church.
  
• Working on communication, between us and kids, us and parents, us with each other.
• Not feeling like we're "winging" it quite so much. And actually have a consistent plan and vision for everything we do.

We need to meet to discuss our first month in person. But for now, can you PLEASE COMMENT below with your HIGHLIGHTS and areas for GROWTH.

With that I'll leave you with this week's responsibilities: (let me know if you need a week off)
