What does that statement share in common with the vision of your local church, district, or conference? 2) How does the coffee metaphor work for your context? What are the forces at play in your community that might affect the flavor or character of discipleship at your church? 3) Which of the system examples best reflects what currently happens at your church? Which elements of those systems seem like they could make a big difference for your church/youth ministry if you and your team intentionally implement them? 02:40:42 Chris Wilterdink - Director of Young People's Ministries: Here is the presentation link in case anyone would like it: https://prezi.com/view/L5cZQDTbhiuOxEKj0jD9/ 02:43:45 Kris Aves she/her co-chair UMVIM mission ? contact me: I just had an idea of a Have a Great Summer Goodie Bag to our parents of our preschool and the MS kids that walk by our church every day after school.
