Do you ever get those days where you just don’t know where to begin? I’m having one of those days. I’m sitting with a blank piece of paper and a pen. Well a number of pens actually. Coloured sharpies. But that’s not important.
What is important is the topic I’m trying to think of some ideas for. What would make Children’s or Youth work better in the United Reformed Church here in Scotland?
You would think that after 15 years of doing this kind of job that wouldn’t be a question I would still be asking.. But I am. I like to think that shows that I’m still learning, still open to new ideas and possibilities. But today it means I’m stuck.
I have an empty page and it would seem my head is just as empty.
So maybe you can help? What would make a difference in your church? What could someone come and help you with or provide to make your work with children and young people better?
have you read this book yet? http://www.youthspecialties.com/shop/product_info.php?products_id=1848&osCsid=fd46a56726392b56c0acb2e04227e8d5
Not yet! But I will!
Have you tried the ‘Rock Solid’ system formulated by ‘YFC’
Not something I could afford to pay for myself, but it is filled with enough to keep a group going for a while, even though some things are repeated occassionally.
Blessings,
George
p.s. I hope and pray that you are past your ‘youth workers block’
