We determined in the Leadership Council meeting in March that we should try a trial run at reorganizing our Wednesday night ministries to make more room for the ATTIC Youth. I have talked to Dylan and we think that we should try this starting the Wednesday after Easter and run it through the last Wednesday of the school year.
Here is the plan. The youth would move to the sanctuary on Wednesday nights. The Missionettes would move to the youth room. The adult Bible study would move to the Children's church room.
Youth worship would be separate from adult worship. We would need a few more highly committed youth sponsors. Adult worship would be in the children's church room. We would serve coffee in the adult Bible study and keep it casual, perhaps have more question and answer time. Since adult worship would be a bit shorter and no transition time is needed we might get out right at 8:00 from Bible study. The youth could grow to 100 or more. The adult Bible study could grow to around 45 and then outgrow the building and we would have to do something else creative.
Dylan and I have talked about starting on the Wednesday following Easter and run through the last Wednesday of the school year. If attendance drops in the Summer we may go back to the old setting and re-think it for the fall and further growth. Whatever the case I need everyone to be flexible because it is a trial run and may be temporary. Or, maybe not. Please be flexible. Please let me know your thoughts on the adjustment. If there is a problem please let me know in a loving way. We are simply trying to make room for growth in each area.

This will be a great opportunity to reach more and more students for Christ and help disciple them in their walk with God. Interested in helping out, let me know. I think it is great that we are willing to do this for our teenagers. Of course I might be a little biased.
