Introducing Me!

How many of you have wondered what goes on inside the mind of Youth Director? Me either…but here it is.

So why is the blog in existence?

• I’ve been working in Youth Ministries for a while now, so I feel like I’ve learned some things that could be useful to others.
• I don’t get to talk about what my mental process is when dealing with Youth Ministry. This will be full of afterthoughts of functions, grievances/annoyances/other synonyms of the such, and other things. Pretty much whatever is in my head at the time of writing posts.

So, about me? I’m going to keep this short. I’m working as a Youth Director in a United Methodist Church in Michigan. I’ve been serving at my current church for about 4 years now, and been working with Youth Ministries for about 6 years in total. In addition to Youth Ministry, I also volunteer as the manager of our Sound/Video Booth, and was our former Newsletter Editor. I consider myself, and I’m sure my parishioners would agree, our Tech Guru as well. Meaning that if anything technical goes wrong, I’m the one they come and see.

So what’s going to be seen on this blog?

• The thought process behind my lesson curriculum planning for our Sunday School and Youth Group sessions.
• The planning process behind some of the function I manage and maybe some after thoughts about it.
• The vague complaints I have about working in Youth Ministry, which are few and far between.
• Any other thoughts that come to me when writing some posts.

Another big question I know you’re probably asking is, “When are you going to upload these wonderful and informative blogs?” Good question…and brownie points to you for the compliment.
To start: I’m planning on posting every Friday, but there may be lapses in-between weeks of posting. This means you’re just going to have to stay tuned to the blog to see when one of my glorious posts comes to your screen.

Overall, I just want to share with this wonderful world all the blessing God has given to me in my 6 years of working in Youth Ministry. Doing this will also be therapeutic to clear my head of things I’m currently working on and dealing with. I hope to have your support and blessings as we start this journey together.

See you soon. The first post won’t be on the site until August 2nd (one week from today) so that I can get this site exactly how I want it.
Peace and Love! ~~~MSquared
