I am proud to be one of you!

  The Institute was a wonderful learning experience which covered as many dimensions of youth ministry as one could pack into two and a half days. Some phrases I kept hearing:
  The diocesan role as support and resource, not as event planner;
  communication;
  You serve at the pleasure of your Bishop;
  Your clients are the pastors;
  What doesn't work??? Top-down;
  What works? Ground-Up;
  Sustainable Frameworks means vision and strategic planning toward desired outcomes;
  Maps, maps, maps--or we will lose sight of the vision;
  Be a bridge and partner with the ministries in the office;
• Core Competencies;
• working in partnership;
• responsible participation for our young people
• Selling the vision downstream...
• Selling the Vision upstream

and my personal favorite.....

Our Young People deserve the Best we have to give!!
