Our Wednesday Nights

We have officially had two school-year Wednesday Nights now and I think things are going pretty well. I was a little disappointed last week with the amount of teens that were there and both weeks we have been missing some key teens. It is hard to establish our Table Ministry Groups when teens that are "normally" there aren't there. We may be shifting around some groups as those teens to do show up because of age and other factors. For those of you that don't have a group yet, don't worry, they will come back! If you want you can join another group until your teens show up, so that you don't have to just sit there. I appreciate all of you who are helping out and taking time out of your schedules to be there. From what I have seen you are doing a great job and I am still very excited about this year. There are definitely a lot of new faces this year and so that is strange for me, but I think it is going to be great. I still want to find an efficient way to contact our visitors (maybe through a hand-written letter) so they feel welcomed and wanted.

I have seen and been introduced to at least one new teen each week and have handed out some complimentary shirts and beverages that were well received. I know it doesn't mean they'll be back next week, but then again that was never the purpose of the comp stuff. It's just to make them feel welcome...and I believe that the comp stuff in conjunction with what is crutially important - connecting them with other adults and teens and bring them in under someone else's wing to get the visitors plugged in will play a major role in bringing them back for the following week.

I believe that attendees will "ebb and flow" depending on school extracurriculars. Hang in there!
