State of the YAMs Meeting and Luncheon

Friends,

As I am sure all of you have read in the bulletin or in the Chimes, this Sunday at 12:30 PM is the State of the YAMs meeting. It all began a few months ago . . .

Faithful YAM, Brandon Mozingo, asked me where I envisioned the YAMs going in the next five years. I hemmed and I hawed and I really couldn’t give a good answer. While we know that Jesus did not have a five-year plan when he began his public earthly ministry, we probably should be thinking longer term than we are. So . . . if you are interested in where the YAMs might be going . . . do you have an idea for a particular ministry? Would you love to see the YAMs do something that we are not? Do you think that there needs to be a strategic plan in place for the welcoming of 20s and 30s people when they walk into St. Paul’s for the first time? Would you like to know about what mission opportunities are available for 20s- and 30s-aged Episcopalians? Perhaps you grew up at St. Paul’s and have not yet come to see what the YAMs have to offer you. If you have opinions on any of these items or have some grand plan for a great ministry in a way that none of us have ever envisioned, please consider coming to share this idea with the group as we work together through where we might be headed. The event will start at 12:30 – enough time to allow for Coffee after the 10:30 service. We will share ideas as we eat lunch together.

I really hope that everyone will be able to come out to this event to share ideas. It is really important.

Yours in Christ,
Bob
