There it was! Goals to begin ministering to youth in a format that is complete and fulfills the mission of the church.  Recognizing that social events alone weren't enough to achieve our goals, I began integrating various aspects of ministry, but not alone.

The turning point wasn't a sudden, dramatic vision, but a quiet, almost embarrassing moment of stillness during the second session. It was near, PEACE.

Participation takes different forms according to people’s different gifts and offices, but there is a fundamental obligation arising from the sacrament of Baptism (cf. Pope John Paul II, Christifideles Laici, 15): that people place their gifts, their resources—their selves—at God’s service in and through the Church.

A framework to develop new ministry at your church is not just a task but a sacred journey that requires prayer and intentionality.
