Publisher's Synopsis
How do we go about about employing a paid worker? What can we expect from volunteers? How can we tell if we're getting our children's work and youth work right?;Children's and youth workers are working on the new frontier for the Church. They are working with the Church of today and yet at the same time building the church of tomorrow. After a comprehensive consultation with parishes throughout the country, it was evident that there was a need for some clear guidelines for youth and children's ministry. This book is the result of that consultation. It aims to help the reader to plan his or her work, manage it more effectively, evaluate it properly and resource it more fully. There are sections on: planning children's and youth ministry; working with volunteers; and employing a specialist worker. Worksheets and examples of forms assist with preparation.
