It's Summer ... So What? (Part 2)

As youth pastors, what are we to do with our summers?
For most of us, the summer is just as busy as the rest of the year, just in a different way
Yet, summertime is also a key time for us and for our ministries
One of the first things we need to be diligent about during the summer is to REST.
So, what else?

PLAN

Let's be honest, it's easy to get lazy during the summer
However, it is so key that we be intentionally and actively planning
Based on how you run your ministry calendar this may be planning for the year or for just the first semester.
In our context our goal during the summer is to plan out these things:

• The overall theme and direction of our ministry for the next year
• Specific series (and lessons to go with those series) for the entire school year
• Retreats & Camps
• Event nights and special events

If you don't aim for anything you don't hit anyting
Aim for something
Find some time and seek God's face asking Him to give you insight and wisdom;
And then start the hard work of planning!

What are you planning for next year?
