Team Youth News
A resource for Youth Ministers and Leaders
May 2020
BEAT ON THE STREET
May, the month when we begin to see the natural world around us come alive! Flowers and trees are budding, forest animals are on the move and the birds sing as the soft breeze of Spring carry them high above the ground.
Amidst all the challenges we are facing during this time, we must continually remind ourselves that God works around us, among us, and in us. Let us keep our senses sharp and our hearts open to His guiding words.
The voice of our Lord like the soft Spring breeze will carry us high above the challenges we face. We must remember to continually "sing" his praise.

Free online Webinar
Here is an opportunity to view a pre-recorded webinar that I feel could be quite helpful in our Ministry. You can view this at your leisure. Let me know what you think.
The Parish Youth Minister: Going from Doing to Empowering – Ela Milewska (start at 13:30)
Youth ministry is the work of the whole parish and not just one or a few people. This is a good idea theory but is hard in practice, especially when the community looks to you as THE youth minister. This webinar will address real strategies to move from being the primary minister to young people to the facilitator of a community of ministers.
Ela Milewska has trained youth ministry and catechetical leaders educators across the US and internationally. She is blessed to have ministered in a variety of environments from rural communities to large cities. Ela is currently the executive director of the Department of Youth Faith Formation overseeing the offices that help parishes form young people and their families from pre-school to twelfth grade. In 2016, she received the National Youth Ministry Award in training.
When you click to view, you will be presented with a log-in page. It's just a "name and email" type of sign in and it's safe. Once you are logged in and ready to view the webinar, I would recommend that you fast forward to the 13:30 mark. That's where Ela really begins to hone in on the topic.
