Those of us who were picking up from Leadership had a little discussion about how things are going. All of the weeks have had some great things happen but we would like to get on the same page.
Here are some decisions that we have made -
- We need to have a monthly discussion that all the mentors/parents come to - we are thinking after the Imaginative Arts week would be best so we can talk about the month coming up.
- We are not letting anyone else in for this year. We love the size of the group and we are trying to wrap our heads around this and adding more kids and families will not add value.
- We have loved this month but we need to get our information up sooner. Please post your inspirements and all other information by the Monday before your week - i.e. at least 8 days before you meet with the youth.
- The youth have elected a devotional leader who will be planning/assigning the thought, the prayer, the poem and the scripture. Sariah Young will be doing for the next two months. At the end of November a new leader will be elected.
- This upcoming week - Kennady, Savannah, Mary and Isabel all have an assignment. Sariah will post who is doing what.
- At the beginning of each Vanguard meeting the youth will lead the devotional and it will take about 10 - 15 minutes.
- We need to lead out as an example in doing an inspirement and teaching about it as well. We need to show the youth what we want them to do. They are struggling understanding the difference between just saying what they did and teaching about how their experience changed them. Also as parents we need to get them working on this, if possible, before the weekend so they will have time to ponder it.
We also toyed with the idea of when the youth present splitting the group into 2 groups so that the respect level goes up.
Feed back is a good thing!
