getting back to the rountine( if there is one)

I started this blog before I left town April 25 for the Princeton Seminary Institute for Youth Ministry and have not had a chance to doing anything with it since. It seems I have been simply catching up. This past weekend I helped lead a new youth event for those in our Presbytery it took place in Rochester and was hosted by Community Presbyterian . Despite the early rain Sat. morning that altered our planned picture scavenger hunt, it still was a great event and hopefully set the ground work for this to become an annual spring event of the Connectional Youth Ministries . With that done it is time to plan for the wrap of our confirmation program this year. We will have out final meeting Thurs. night, an affirmation of baptism with confirmands and families Sat. night and the confirmands will help lead worship on Sunday. Then next Sat is our Education ministry day retreat and Sunday is youth Sunday, so I have a full week of planning both of these events and the end of the school year youth celebration Sunday night. So much for the routine.
