spring lunch '08 - it's history!

i had planned on a group photo, but this will have to do. it was a great lunch. our kind and generous hosts at wooster grace student ministries provided a great time. it seemed like the time together ended before it really started. we covered lots of stuff including some thoughts about student leadership and the "how" of growing our students. lunch was excellent too. also wasn't aware that box lunches were available at honeybaked hams. as promised here's a couple of links worth looking at.

one part of our conversation turned on the whole social media thing. this panel from the pdsummit '08 is excellent.

national lunch # 2

cool specs! they were left behind from our lunch last week but we've found the owner.

our gathering was small, but the conversation was large.

we were the guests of scott hall on the campus of pleasant hill outdoor center. we were joined by some new friends from skyview ranch. our conversation was varied but some great discussion about the purpose of camping as part of the journey in the lives of teenagers. discussion also included about how to continue to change with the market to be intentional in impacting young lives through camping for the Kingdom. good stuff.

we gather...staying /standing together

PDYM Fall National Community Lunch – North Central Ohio This Thursday ~ 23 August 2007 @ Pleasant Hill Outdoor Center

Its time for us to connect again with other student ministry folks for some networking

This time we're being hosted by Scott Hall, director at Pleasant Hill Outdoor Center near Mohican Lodge. We'll gather at 11:30 a.m. and finish by 1:00 p.m.

So come and join us at camp. The campers are all back home and many are already in school awaiting your fall rollout of your student ministry program.

So why not block out a few hours and come and connect. Come early if you want. There's plenty of trails (even wifi if you can't unplug) and even some sand at the beach to give you some quality relaxation time. Oh yeah, please bring a friend.

Finally so that Scott and his staff can properly plan, please post a comment or email with your rsvp by Tuesday so we can get a rough count

Please bring $5 to help cover the cost of lunch.

Hope to see you then.
