Dear BYKOTA, Youth, Parents, and Advisors,
Please join
Lesa McWalters and I on Sunday, October 2nd for lunch and a short
afternoon visioning workshop. Our BYKOTA youth are young and mighty and raring
to take on the world. Let’s put out heads together to support their passion and
commitments.
Jump start…and beyond
…moving
into the future with intention
A gathering of BYKOTA Youth, their Parents, and Advisers
Sunday, October 2, 12:00-2:30 PM in the Chapel
Lunch provided starting at 11:30 AM in the Chapel
This year we are blessed to have a large cohort of BYKOTA
kids. Up to 22 kids in grades 6-8. It seems like the perfect time for these
pre-teens/teens, their parents, and advisers to gather together to look ahead
to the next 6 years or so--middle school through high school. Let’s check-in and
imagine the future together. What goals, priorities, and commitments can we
make come alive in our re-imagining Youth Ministry together? We will look at
the needs and desires of this group of young people and their parents both in
the immediate future as well as what we might move toward in the next years.
Programming, process, relationship, identity, service and more–this is the
beginning, not the end, of conversation.
Our facilitator will be Cindy Beal, M. Div., from Peace and
Justice Consulting. Cindy is an educator with 30 years experience working with
the youth development, sexuality education, and UU religious education. Cindy
will bring fun facilitation, deep reflection, joyous exploration with sharing,
art, listening, movement, and lots of laughter to our time together.
The Youth, Parents, and Advisors will meet both separately
and together during this time. Please arrive early and enjoy a simple lunch
before the start. Please wear comfortable clothing.
Childcare for siblings is available by reservation. Reserve
HERE.
