Special Events

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.
