I’m delighted to announce that Youthworks Outdoors are now seeking to find an At-risk Youth Ministry Coordinator. Details are here.

We are also looking for a sales consultant to help sell our camps to public schools. It’s a part-time role, and would be ideal for a parent who wishes to work during school hours and terms. Details are here.

Anthony ‘Chucky’ Chuck is back at Youthworks Outdoors, now in his new role as Disabilities Ministry Coordinator, for our new ministry Youthworks Access.

Find out more about his new role and this new ministry, in the story at sydneyanglicans.net.

If you’re willing and able, I’d love you to partner with us in this new ministry. Contact access@youthworks.net or phone 02 8525 3100 to find out more about how you can help, or email donations@youthworks.net or phone 02 8268 3325 to offer your financial support.

Now that PowerPoint has become passé, what is the next big thing we should use to display our song words?

In truth, I’m actually thrilled to say that Graham Stanton has agreed to join the team of resident bloggers at sydneyanglicans.net.

Graham and I will share the Tuesday slot, with some guest writers from time to time, as we seek to keep raising the profile of youth and children’s ministry in the Anglican Diocese of Sydney, and to work at strengthening all of us involved in this vital work.

Graham’s first piece is lots of fun, with some interesting observations and comments about the nature of blogging and bloggers.
