Meeting 2 - 6/28/11

We discussed the scope of the class for 2011-2012, and Jason took the action item of taking all the wonderful feedback and discussion and trying to take a stab at an approximately 25 session class scope and schedule.

Here is a link to the DRAFT scope (please read the notes below before reviewing the scope).  You can read this document and look at the calendar below to get a sense of the rough schedule (at least what week things are happening).

NOTE:

1. I ended up with 26 sessions.  If you lay that on the calendar  WITHOUT retreats (just to see the longest possible schedule), that takes us from 9/11/11 to 5/6/12.
2. I did propose two groupings of topics that could serve as retreat themes.  Let's discuss these or other possibilities.  That could mean a later start if we are set on finishing on Pentecost.   Again, we'll discuss.

We also decided that we will send a letter off to every young person from grade 6 to 12 in the church and offer that young person and his/her parents the opportunity to meet with us on August 3rd, 2011 at 5:30 for a dinner meeting to discuss the upcoming class, the expectations for students and parents.  Barbara agreed to pull together the list of young people eligible for the class.

Cindy offered her place for a possible 1st session/kick-off party.

Homework for next meeting:

• Review the 27 session course scope and offer feedback
• Be thinking and praying about what will go in the parent and student expectations.

Reference material/links:

• The agenda handout from the 6/28 meeting
