WEEK THREE

This past week was full of things to do. Sunday night at youth group was supposed to be a big night for the youth group as a well-known speaker came from Kingdom Builders. However, there were not as many kids there as we would have liked. Nevertheless, in retrospect, the core group of youth that were there was exactly what the Lord had in mind. During the talk, I got the sense that the Lord really wanted me to tell the girls that I wanted to be here for them. I really felt led to give them my number and email just to act as a sounding board if they needed one. This all said, I realized Sunday night that there is so much more to youth ministry than just leading youth. The Spirit still continues to work on the leaders as well.
Also this week, we had a meeting at Pastor Matthew's house to discuss different dates as well as this upcoming Sunday. I was the one he gave a bunch of the techinal and organizational stuff..which was fine with me. I was told to create an excel list and email it out to some of the other guys in the youth group. This was actually kind of fun and made me feel a little important. This really showed me how much organizational and managing kinds of things really goes into the ministry. This was one time of just a few that I have been able to see this firsthand.
