Totally Catholic Youth Ministers Lounge: Christmas Break

Totally Catholic Youth Ministers Lounge

Are you in youth ministry and you've had it with crazed parents? Rollin' your eyes at the pastoral council? Tired of administration work? Love youth? Love the Church? Appalled at parish politics? Looking for some good games? For a creative ways to teach a lesson for Religious Ed? Just need a place to veg out and say "phew! Someone outside of the parish to talk to!"? Grab y'r Starbucks, turn the computer away from the staff's eyes, grab a seat on a donated dusty couch and let it all go.

Christmas Break

Are you on break as well? Is this a good time to get in a little R&R? Or maybe this could be a great time to connect with the college kids or the HS kids while they have a school break.

If you need the break, take it. But if you have a lot of down time (don't have Rel Ed or parish Christmas responsibilities, etc) take time to do some relational ministry. Relax with some kids and their parents and families. I always find the effort pays off.
