We tried something different for the next part of the youth contact meeting.  We invited four voices from outside our meeting space into our gathering.  They each spoke briefly – three to five minutes and then small groups broke out for discussions afterwards.  This was an invention towards continuing to prompt good conversation. 

Bob Rice has always been a partner with some many of our young people attending FUS summer conference and many FUS graduates serving as co-workers in the vineyard.  ValLimar (and Frank) Jansen will be with us for Pilgrimage this year and Steve (but not Jenni) Angrisano will be with us for BYCC. 

Mayra Seitz was this summer’s co-coordinator for European Catholic youth Conference for US military kids.  She is a US Department of Defense teachers in the Netherlands.

These were taped SKYPE calls using supertintin (and sometimes the synching of audio to face doesn’t always match up.)
