Most youth work has a fresh start about now. We work in rhythm with the school year and, if you have time for any forward planning, it’s been done in the run up to the September new start.
Your priorities
Perhaps it is simply maintenance — you are going to have to work extremely hard just to keep your ministry on the road. Your team are only just coping. You may have the energy for planned growth in your work and you may even have a gospel project ready to go.
Schools are going to hear the gospel in a way they’ve never done before. After the summer, there may be a need for further discipleship following on from commitments made in the summer. There may be a real hope that integration with what the adult church is doing can be done better and young people can feel that the church is their place.
