Youth Parents Meeting Minutes

Hello parents!! Thank you very much to those of you who attended the Youth Parents Meeting!! Your input is very much appreciated in helping Pastor David and the Youth Leaders to better facilitate the Youth Ministry. Here is just a recap of many things that were discussed!

Sunday, October 27 - Youth Parents Meeting Minutes

David and Shaula's House

7:00 p.m.

- Fundraising event for a mission trip! It would be nice to see the youth get a little bit more involved in events such as mission trips. An example, the Winter Olympics 2010?

- Get youth more involved in ministries at the church, such as ushering, caroling, singing or playing in the band, etc.

- Keep praying for our own building... the youth group is growing bigger and bigger and soon there won't be enough space to hold Bible Studies at houses!

- Also with the growing number of youth, some ideas suggested is if parents can help with driving the youth to Bible Studies? There are not enough drivers/space for all the youth to be transported! Some ideas suggested were getting a church bus, or assigning certain drivers each week for certain areas of the city (ie. NE, NW drivers)

- We would like for parents to see what YC is like if possible!

- An idea for a parent/youth combined event is to go BOWLING! This will most likely be on a saturday for the best convenience, and David will give parents/youth notice before the event, which is TBA

- www.bridgecalgary.ca/youth --> The new youth website is more parent friendly! Everything is on one page, all you have to do is scroll down to see everything! Parents, please feel free to make comments underneath each blog posting (click on "comments"), or leave comments in the guestbook! We are always thinking of ways to make the website more interactive and easy to use. There will soon be some links to good websites regarding families and youth! Soon to come.

- Parents, your website is www.bridgecalgary.ca/youthparents (this one!) if you would like to bookmark it!

- Some fundraising ideas that we are thinking about are:

- Dinner theatre fundraiser

- Fashion show fundraiser

- Bottle drives, housework, etc.

- Thinking of doing something during Spring Break!

- Parent meetings will be held quarterly (every 3 months) for now. Another idea is every 2 months.

Thanks again parents!!
