Have
you ever been discouraged by only having a few youth in your church show up for
youth ministry? Do you wonder what it might be like to join with other
churches to form a youth group, but weren’t sure how to do it? Are you in
a church that isn’t able to provide staff for youth ministry? If you
answered yes to any of these questions, then be sure to join us for the
Collaborative Youth Ministry Think Tank gathering on April 13th at
Trinity UMC, Blythewood from 10-2. Participants will hear
from Rev. Maggie Cantey, leader of United Youth in the Spartanburg District who
has successfully launched a collaborative youth ministry there. Maggie
will share how United Youth was begun, the principles that guided her through
that process, as well as some potential pitfalls along the way. So, while
you are at it, invite some other adults from your area to join you as part of
the time together will be to dream about what the possibilities are for groups
in your area. There is no cost for the event, and lunch will be
served. DEADLINE TO REGISTER IS APRIL 10! If you have questions reach out to us at
