Youth Workers Network
The Youth Workers Network met recently
at the synod office.
What an energetic, caring group of AAA (Authentic, Available and
Affirming) Adults they are!
Here are some of the ways we pass on the faith to
the next generation:
 |
A very active LYO Board meets
regularly, plans and organizes two youth gatherings, youth Sunday
and more. |
 |
The Youth Workers Network shares
ideas, offers support and ongoing education for adults who work with
youth in professional, as well as volunteer, roles. |
 |
Under the Bishop's Initiative for
Raising Up Leaders, we provide several programs including Shaping
Future Leaders, Invitation to Serve, Growing God's Children, and
Certification School for youth workers. |

The
Youth Workers Network is excited to bring Dependable Strengths Training
to our annual summer event. Because
of the scope of the training, this years event will be limited to 24
people. Registration is NOW
OPEN! Click here to download a registration form.
Dependable
Strengths training helps you uncover your unique pattern of excellence
by reviewing positive experiences from your life.
Knowing your dependable strength can lead to more of what you do
well and enjoy doing and lay claim to your calling in daily life.
This
workshop combines brief lectures with individual exercises and small
group experiences. Through
the first part you will learn about your own pattern of unique
strengths, identifying and articulating your core abilities, talents,
and skills—your “best self”. The second part will teach you how to
plan and lead “Discover Your Dependable Strengths” workshops in your
own congregation; you will learn how to help others uncover their
strengths and apply this learning to situations in their homes,
workplaces, communities, and congregations.
In
Addition
Value
to Participant
This
event is made possible because of a generous grant from Thrivent
Financial for Lutherans and the Siebert Lutheran
Foundation as part of the Bishops’
Initiative to
identify, nurture, inspire, invite, equip and send the next generation
of leaders for our church.
