Here comes Summer

Memorial day weekend means a major shift for me...
The Graduating Seniors transition to Young Adult Ministry.
The incoming Freshmen join the High School Ministry.
We got to Open houses, then more Open Houses, then a few more Open Houses.
The SOAR Interns officially move into their role.

Basically, Summer is officially underway. That means a shift in focus for me from the weekly programs (Wednesday Night Youth and Sunday Youth Class) to the Summer trips (IMPACT, NYGO, Summer Camps). I also try to dive into a few key students lives and up my relational ministry through the time.
It's not really a much slower pace, but it's kind of like moving from running 2 miles around a track to running 2 miles out in nature. I love this time of year... lots of significant investments; lots of awesome growth in students; lots of time to dream and see what's next in store.

Let the Summer begin!
