Overview: Youth Week

Youth Week is a special time to recognize the youth in your congregation and celebrate their gifts and contributions to the faith community. The suggested time for youth week each year falls between the last Sunday of October and the first Sunday of November. Choose one of those Sundays to engage youth in a creative way in the morning worship. During the week, plan something special to recognize the youth in your congregation. This would be a good time to work on boosting your attendance at youth activities, or to have a special mid-week event celebrating "youth." It could also be a time to begin planning for the upcoming year—setting some goals and objectives; evaluating how the present year has gone so far, and checking out what's on the agenda for the rest of the current year. This week may not be the best time for you ... that's ok. You have 51 other weeks from which to choose!
