Youth Ministries?

I hope there was not much investments on the buttons. Recycle! God bless!

will someone make fun of me for saying "who's Kirk"?

got no bone in the fray, but since this is a public forum and threads are about asking for and receiving opinions, my opinion is that from the last few years I have know (of) Palma, she has done a great job.

But...
I have wondered why the YM director couldn't be someone closer to their age. not necessarily a "kid", obviously, but folks of her (and my) age, don't always "get it".

remember I said I don't know kirk, so his age isn't in comment, I was just making an observation and opinion - please feel free to ignore me if you are offended or if you don't like me making a post that says that I don't know someone; but I felt it pertinent to posting my opinion.

The Midwest region doesn't often see HQ folk, except for regional meetings that require that kind of representation. I do recall having the men's ministry director here outside of that venue. the woman's ministry director, also outside of that venu, and the Children's Ministry director on several occasions as well - all within my short tenure as a congregant and member of the COGOP.

I am sure Palma has been very busy, and I don't even know that she was ever invited (I am a nobody 'round here - read as not privy to that level of information) - just making observation, as one that works with youth a lot, but is not involved with them in any official capacity in the COGOP.

Of the 4500 members or so of the CPPA, probably 75% are 16-26, which, to me, is "youth". and again, not knowing much about her, or kirk - I offer something I have learned - I surround myself with leadership that are younger and have their finger on the pulse of the plain-folk in the field.

sometimes they offer suggestions that I would never have thought of. sometimes it is about something that I even might disagree with, personally!

oh well. just rambling now - nevermind.

Perhaps its time for seven replacements. One in each Presbyter's office. This would allow for more focused ministry and contectivity with the churches. Seven is better then one.

There's a refreshing thought...I wouldn't hold you breath for it happening any time soon.
