Telling the Story
about Today's Young People's Ministry
Savannah Rogers
You've probably been asked before, how come we don't have youth Sunday school anymore, or why is the children's ministry not as large as it was 20 years ago. You also may have heard people throwing out their own narratives about the younger generations are just not interested in God anymore. Sometimes these questions and narratives take on a life of their own and overshadow the great work that is happening in our young people's ministries. In this workshop, we'll talk about trends we as seeing as well as ways to communicate this to volunteers, other staff, and other members of the church. The story of what your ministry is doing is important, and others need to know it.

A Vocabulary for Being: the Enneagram, Ministry, and How to Load a Dishwasher.
Rev. Michael LeBlanc
The Enneagram was the biggest craze of 2019, but beyond the personalized mugs and memes there lies a vocabulary for how God has made us and the people we serve. This ancient soul vocabulary is more than a personality test, it gives us new words for how God made us. We will talk about the different types, try and zero in on our own types and learn about how our types influence our role in ministry. We will also talk about how the Enneagram can help us minister to parents, students and volunteers.
