Report from a Visit with United Methodist Youth Planning Worship
Tuesday, August 07, 2007 -- At 8:00 on a warm summer Friday evening, I was privileged to meet with almost 30 high school and middle school youth at Adrian College who had gathered to plan Sunday worship. They had arrived at Adrian College from United Methodist congregations throughout eastern Michigan as well as the Upper Peninsula on Wednesday. The five day leadership camp would engage them in learning about worship planning and leadership based on the curriculum “Lay Speakers Lead in Worship.”
