This morning, Griff over at More Than Dodgeball identified three ways that youth ministry can support the church. He reminded us that “Youth ministry is not an island unto itself. It is not a separate ministry of the church, doing its own thing. It is a part of a greater whole, and when we think of ourselves as a part of what God is doing throughout the congregation we will only serve the church better.”   His three ways?

1) Clean up after yourself
2) Plan an event that supports the Church
3) Model flexibility

Read the whole post here.  I would add those involved in youth ministry should consciously prayer for their pastor and denominational leadership (read as bishops and the Pope.)  Anybody out there have a fifth idea or a sixth way to support the church?
