Greetings in the Name of Jesus Christ,

Thank God for a fruitful youth fellowship gathering this past weekend. We were able to accomplish a few things. Below is the Protokol for our past gathering. Group Coordinators please update/edit as necessary. For the future, Group Coordinators please send your own Protokol to the group. The group Coodinators for the next gathering please start preparing and lead our next event. Let us continue to ask God for His guidance in this fellowship, so that we can do greater things for Him and enjoy each other's company more and more while doing so.

(3) Workload Breakdown and Content of This Week's Fellowship‏

Greetings in the Name of Jesus Christ,

First of all, thank you all for attending the meeting a couple of weeks ago and staying until the end. Organizational meetings tend to take longer than actual activities. However, I would like to apologize that time management is not one of my strongest attributes. From here on out, activities will be planned by the Coordinating groups. Therefore, you can rest assure that time management will be off of my hands. For those of you who were not able to attend the meeting last time, here's a brief recap of what happened:

Agenda:
Identify areas of Work to be done
Identify Coordinators for each area of work
Plan fellowship Schedule
Areas of Work and Coordinators:
Evangelism
Doctrinal Studies - Nathanael & Carol
Hymnal Preparation - Yi-yun & Jonathan
Literary Ministry - Nathanael & Daniela
Pastoral
Caregiving - Dorothea & Man-yi
Prayer - Carol
Fellowship
Activities - Maggie & Wei-Hsiang
Food Preparation - You-You & Hee-Jin
Coordinators' Responsibilities: Ensure scheduled fellowship activities for your area of work is planned and organized. You do not necessarily have to prepare the activities on your own, but you will be responsible for the finished product. You can ask others to help you and give you ideas and lead the activity for you, but you are still the host for your area of work. You are encouraged to enlist the help of everyone and not do everything on your own. It is best if all activities are group activities, to ensure a fellowship environment. You will be the leader of the day whenever your area of work is scheduled, the one to open the Fellowship Activity and end it. You may divide the work of being the leader if two activities are scheduled on the same day. Feel free to discuss your plans and ideas with me in the beginning, and we will work it out together. You can contact me through email anytime of the week and Cc: our counselors for additional support. Please notify me of your finalized plan prior to the meeting, by Thursday if email, by Friday if phone.
Fellowship Plan for 30 May: Activities/Caregiving (Group Coordinators please be prepared)

Now the bulk of organization is accomplished, I am very excited and optimistic about the things we can do for God as a group. I feel that the youthful energy that has been asleep in Heidelberg WJG is finally going to be release for a very positive purpose. Let us continue to pray for God's guidance and wisdom in all of this. Most of all, let us pray for God to strenghthen us in doing more work for Him in unity and not lose heart. May we continue to learn from one another and be able to work with one another in harmony. Let us be of one heart and one mind, the mind of Jesus Christ, knowing that God will never shortchange us for the sacrifices that we make for Him. May God remember our labors/efforts and bestow His blessings and strength upon us.

In Christ,
~tiana
