Parents Meeting Recap

Hello Parents!

I'm sorry that I have neglected this section. I'm going to work on that! I promise.

I wanted to put up some of the feedback I recieved last night for those of you that weren't able to join us. It was a good discussion with the 12 or so parents that were able to make it out.

First on the agenda was Spring youth retreats, Surge and Shine. This past year the cost was 120 and 130, respectively. I heard from quite a few parents that it was too expensive when it was that close to summer and the camp programs. So we talked it through, but the general consensus was that it's still a valuable part of the youth calendar. I'll make an effort this year to get the information and dates/prices out to you as early as possible so you can budget for it.

Afterwards we went over an overview of the past month of youth retreats. We had some good discussions about where we're going in the future, and one piece of feedback I got from that was a desire for more small groups. The suggestion was offered that we have two events each month, one foundations, and one small group night. I'm a fan, and you'll see us move towards that more as we go through the year.

Lastly, the idea of having youth lead a Sunday morning service was raised, and it's something I"ll pursue further from my end.

As always, if you have any comments or suggestions, there's no need to wait for a meeting to say something. Feel free to get a hold of me by e-mail, phone, or come and visit. I'd love to hear what's going on at home and school with your youth!
