Who’s us? I’m Toby, (part of The Big Day of Serving, Group Missions, and Simply Youth Ministry), plus whoever else I can drag along from the Group/SYM team.
Why? Well, we thought it would be fun. And wing places are great spots to eat and hang out. Plus, we’re paying, so who cares???
What for? You’ll get to say hi to some fellow youth leaders from around the area who you’ve probably never met, we’ll talk about some youth ministry stuff, take Q&A’s, and share ideas. You can tell your senior pastor you’re at a very important strategic meeting………….
Can I bring a friend? Yes. Go ahead and ask a fellow youth leader who didn’t get this email to join you.
Any free stuff? Other than food, why yes. We’ll give out as many red bags of youth ministry goodies as possible, plus we’ll be giving away a free trip for five to San Diego Big Day of Serving <http://thebigdayofserving.com/locations/fall-2011/san-diego,-ca> (coming up on Saturday, October 15th), another trip for five to San Diego or Las Vegas Week of Hope <http://www.groupweekofhope.com/locations> , and a amazing deal for SYMC <http://conference.youthministry.com/> .
Do I have to RSVP? I never like doing that…Well, no you don’t have to. But it would be nice. The places we’re eating are happy we’re coming, but there’s not endless room, either. If you think you’ll be there, could you just click on the correct RSVP link below and send me a quick note…
RSVP – El Cajon October 3rd
RSVP – Lake Forest October 4th
RSVP – Normal Heights Coffee October 5th
RSVP – Mira Mesa October 5th
And yes…this is a fairly last minute invitation. Sorry about that. But it sorta feels like youth ministry, doesn’t it? I hope you can make it, and if you have any questions, send me an email and I’ll get back to you. Beyond all the commentary and links, we love youth leaders, and want to encourage and help you in any way we can. So join us for some free food, ok? Have a great day, and thanks for everything you do for students!
*Don’t worry we will have lunches near you soon!
