Timmy is back! Well, kinda. He was in Jacksonville, FL this morning while Andrew was in the Safety Harbor Studio, but thanks to the magic of the internet, it all worked out. Both of us were at camp this past week, and the camps couldn’t have been more different. One was thousands of students, one was dozens. One was in the actual wilderness, and one was at The Wilderness of the Smokies Resort. We talked about the pros and cons of different types of camps, camp rules, and settings.Tim’s church wrapped up a 10 week series yesterday while Andrew’s church kicked off a new one. We talked about church after a week of camp.Check out our resources in the DYM store here: https://www.downloadyouthministry.com/shop?author=8 Be sure to like The Morning After Ministry on facebook: https://www.facebook.com/morningafterministry/instagram.com/morningaftermin and twitter.com/morningaftermin.

Tim is still out, taking his students to camp, but Andrew was joined by Brett Eddy this morning. Brett is the Director of Student Ministries at Port City Community Church in Willmington, NC where he has served for the past 16 years. We talked about the shift in one giant student ministry camp to separate middle and high school camps, the role difference he has experienced in moving from an age group specific pastor to director over all of PCCC’s student ministries, and the unique role his church and student ministry played in the relief efforts after Hurricane Florence. We had some tech issues this episode, but Brett’s insight is so good, that you’ll wanna listen through a little bit of echo.Check out our resources in the DYM store here: https://www.downloadyouthministry.com/shop?author=8 Be sure to like The Morning After Ministry on facebook: https://www.facebook.com/morningafterministry/instagram.com/morningaftermin and twitter.com/morningaftermin.

With Tim out of pocket, Andrew was joined this morning by Ronald Long and Geoff Cocanower. Both awesome dudes and DYM main stays. They had both just gotten home from youth trips, so the conversation revolved around best practices for camps and mission trips, as well as staying connected and reconnecting back home.

Nothing like 4th of July week to make the congregation worship America, right? Tim got an earful for the flag not being front and center. Andrew had patriotic socks and someone wearing a “Trump 45” jeresey in the middle of the livestream. Tim accidentily orchidtrated one of the greatest youth ministry events ever, “BYOF” bring your own fireworks night. We talked about the stresses and pressure of having to dress to preach every week. We discussed how often to repeat an outfit before people start noticing. We are both working different hours this summer than we do during the school year, and have noticed the productivity difference the different hours make. As Tim’s church continues to go through changes, on of them is a completerebranding, complete with mission and vision statements and a new logo and abreviated name. Another change is that the elders are going out of their way to make sure the spouses and families of the staff are well loved and cared for.We debated whether or not Father’s Day gifts were worth giving out to dads in the congregation. We talked about the pros anc cons, and got some great examples of gifts and some good reasons why churches do or don’t give them out. Andrew’s church gave out bottles of Dad’s Old Fashioned RootBeer with M&M’s attaatched to look like a bow tie. Tim’s church did nothing. But Tim did seal Andrew’s last rootbeer.Tim had a church member take him to a baseball game to tell him that they were leaving the church. We talked about the best and worst ways we have had people leave.

Tim’s breath stinks. He was informed of this right before service yesterday morning. We talked about the meeting he had with his elders about social media usage and how to be approachable to people before they even get to church. The big topic of the day was communion. How to do it. When to do it. How to make it less germy. We discussed breadsticks and Jesus shot glasses.

Is there anything more exhausting than VBS week? Andrew’s church pulled ut all the stops for a week of evening VBS with dinner for the whole family every night. The huge payoff was that most of the families came back when the kids were asked to sing on Sunday morning. It was the biggest non Christmas/Easter turnout in the two years Andrew’s been the pastor.We debated whether or not Father’s Day gifts were worth giving out to dads in the congregation.
