May: A Month of Transition
Youth ministry is inherently tied to the school’s schedule. Any youth worker with common sense knows not to plan events on 1. Prom Weekend, 2. Graduation Weekend, or 3. Finals Week. Students will not come on 1 & 2, and parents will hate you for 2 & 3. Unfortunately, these events all happen within a month’s timespan. This wrecks havoc on the Spring programming for ministries. The ministry parts that run through the school year end in May, and the summer ministry kicks into high gear. College students return home for the summer, providing an influx of potential volunteers. In this period of transition, make sure you do not lose focus on the most important part of your ministry: the students.
