Create natural "breaks" in your ministry calendar. This gives you time to refresh and renew for the next season.

Build relationships with the adults in your congregation. Learn their gifts and passions. This investment will help with volunteer recruitment in the future.

Advent is a time of many traditions in the church. Be sure that there are a few traditions built into youth ministry. This creates a family-like atmosphere for students.

Prayer Walks are a great way to get out and enjoy fall while teaching teens different prayer practices. Walk around the schools, neighborhoods or parks. Allow the Spirit to move you to pray.

How often do you engage with parents? They need support & connection as well. Why not do a Family Feud Night? Or a family dinner?

Numbers not where you want them? Ask students to meet outside the church. Grab ice cream or coffee. See if you get a different result.
