Youthworks are running their biennial ‘Theology of Youth Ministry’ conference again this year. I went to the conference in 2006 and found it very helpful. The theme this year: Connecting the Unconnected – Thinking Strategically about Missional Engagement with Youth.
I’ll see how the work load is going at college – but I’m hoping to make it along. If you are a Youth Pastor – go and be part of this conference! More info youthworks.net or download rego form (pdf). Here are the speakers and Papers they will be presenting:

Conference was fantastic in 06. Hoping to be able to come again this year, but not sure how this sits with the break between semesters for college…will have to check…
hey cj – my guess is that it won’t fall in holidays??
so it will require class skipping if you’re game!!
how is youth group going?
how is college?
when are you going to start a blog?
i really should write this on your facebook wall!
Yeah I just checked. It’s in the second week back for second semester.
College is going great guns. All my major assessments are now out of the way for this semester, which means I have the luxury of being able to focus on exam prep now.
Youth group is great. First four weeks of this term are heavily evangelistic. We have already seen God at work and new kids turning to Christ (praise God!). Tonight is our big Combined Youth Night. Should go off. Great speaker and band.
Have thought about blogging, but I think it would be just another excuse for procrastination…
CJ
how many exams do you have for college?
i’ve got 2 – one next week for greek and then a couple of weeks later for biblical theology. all the hebrew peeps had an exam yesterday.
good stuff about youth group this term!!
hope tonight goes well.
