to be reflective of our larger community; thus, encourage your youth to look for
opportunities to celebrate the diversity of Holston. In addition we are encouraging your talent/gift offering to reflect or be inspired by the Resurrection theme

HOLSTON CONFERENCE
CHILDRENS MINISTRY
NEEDS YOUR HELP!
At our planning meeting in August we
focused on our purpose as a team. One
of the greatest concerns is how to be a
better resource to the diverse congregations and childrens ministries in our conference. One of the most pressing questions was, How can we best help
you in your ministry efforts? In order to faithfully answer that question, we
developed a very short survey. Volunteers or staff involved in childrens ministry in the local church, please take a moment to respond to this survey at:
https://docs.google.com/forms/d/
e/1FAIpQLSf2KTM6RN2ZOs1FajxE5jV3fi4iOvhLVcby_JYFvdWGskOnw/
viewform
Please respond by
November 1, 2016.
We are excited about better serving the
leaders of leaders in childrens ministry
of Holston Conference.
Thank you!
