Greetings!
God's Peace to you!
I occasionally read Lyle Griner's blog. Lyle is the National Director for Peer Ministry. Recently he posted what he calls his "Youth Ministry Manifesto." I found it encouraging and thought provoking. I wonder if it might be good food for thought at a youth committee meeting? Check it out and see what you think.

PS. I just updated the Event Listing. There are a ton of excellent events coming up for youth and adults in our area. The new listing should be up on the synod website tomorrow. Click on "Synod & Area Events" on the right hand side.
