The Monday Morning Debrief – 11/15
As you reflect on the week that was and look to the week ahead, here are 5 things to think about and consider:
- What is something you have learned this past week (either personally, ministry wise or through your devotions)? How are you going to put that into practice this week?
- Is there an upcoming event that you need to start prepping for? Take some time to prepare for it now so you do not get behind on any planning.
- Take a minute and evaluate this past week’s message. How did it go? If you gave the message, who can give you constructive feedback to help you become a better communicator (if you could draw a key student leader into this process, that would be great too)? If another person gave the message set up a time to meet up with them and give them some constructive feedback that will help them for future talks.
- Is there a leader you have not met up with lately? See if there is a time you can meet up with them this week to catch up on life & ministry. Remember, don’t just focus on ministry but really listen to them and get to know who they are. Encourage them in their lives so that they know you value them as a person, not just for what you can “do for them” as a leader.
- Follow up with your Parents contact work list. It is important that you do a few of these a month so that you can share your heart and your vision for the youth. Also you can probe them for what they would like to see happen in the youth program. Getting their input does not mean that you have to do everything they suggest but at least you are getting valuable feedback from them to possibly apply to your ministry.
