One of the things that he mentioned (which is totally intuitive, but one of those things we don't always do) is to create an atmosphere of making things new. In particular this:</p> <p>To cancel regular programming for a while and then bring it back as "new and improved". </p> <p>I am thinking of doing this for our Wednesday programming for teens called TheGathering. I want to cancel it for 4 weeks during the end of the summer and bring it back the school gets back in. </p> <p>My question is this: What things do you do to make it new and improved? Rather than just putting rouge on it with new lights, banners, and rearranging the chairs, and stuff like that. How do you make it something that is fresh? Any ideas? </p> http://www.orangeleaders.com/forums/topic/student-ministry-promotion-ideas#post-137 Mon, 02 Nov 2009 15:13:44 +0000 mcentyre 137@http://www.orangeleaders.com/forums/ <p>Hi,<br /> Our student ministry has been orange for a couple of years now. When we changed our ministry, we also changed to a team leadership approach. This makes it so that there is less of an impact when a leader steps down .. which happened this week. </p> <p>Over the past few months, our attendance numbers have dropped for both students and adult leaders. We meet on Sunday nights and I feel that there's a "disconnect" between our main congregation and what's going on in our youth group.</p> <p>I know it's not all about the numbers, but I would like to explore ways to make our congregation aware of what's going on and let the "non-attending" teenagers want to check it out.</p> <p>How have you guys promoted your youth groups? </p>
