Further Thoughts on the UMYFP Christmas Institute
A week ago, I posted some thoughts on the Christmas Institute of the UMYFP. There is a need for rethinking the concept and execution of the Christmas Institute. It needs to be integrated into the overall ministries of the local churches in the district and annual conferences so that the passion of the youth who get involved there would have a channel for such passion.
Here are further suggestions to the leaders and organizers of Christmas Institutes. If you don’t have a Christmas Institute, then these suggestions could also apply to your youth camps (Christmas, summer, or any other time of the year).
Bible Study Material. The leadership of the National United Methodist Youth Fellowship in the Philippines (NUMYFP) annually prepares a Bible Study material for use in the Christmas Institutes. This Bible Study Material is usually written by an experienced pastor or a bishop of the United Methodist Church. If you want to have an access to the Bible Study material for this week, contact your Annual Conference UMYFP leaderse and they can give you a copy. If your AC officers are not very active, then send me an email at penstalker(at)gmail.com and I will get a copy for you.
