Greetings! I’m Leslie, clerk for the Board of Youth and Young Adult Ministries. I wanted to let youthworkers know of important area gatherings that the board is hosting.

The board would like to create a vision for youth ministries in NWYM and need your help doing this. We are interested to know two main things - What do you feel like God is calling you to do in youth ministry? and, How can NWYM assist either locally or yearly meeting wide?

The youth sponsor from the meeting where you worship should receive a letter with the date and time of said area gathering. Please feel free to just show up at your area gathering. Here is the list of area gatherings with dates. Contact me with any questions you might have - at Leshodg at gmail dot com.
