9. Notify your adult facilitator or Jenny if you can not attend a meeting.
10. Contact each student in your small group or PA Pod a minimum of once a month at home.
11. Invite Faith Alive students to the retreats and other activities.
12. Faith Alive meetings: We need more PA’s for Monday! For both meetings, we are going to form PA Pods with 1 PA and 3-6 students. Really partner with these students at each meeting and make it a point to contact each one regularly, especially if you haven’t seen the student in a 2-3 meetings. Always follow up with new students with a phone call.
13. Circulate among and survey students about “Waddaya think?” Periodically, we will ask questions related to the Scripture, which will be the Gospel from the upcoming Sunday. PA’s will move around the room with their clipboard and ask students their opinions. All students will be encouraged to participate and all PA’s will try to eventually speak to each student.
14. Plan and Lead the Faith Alive Retreats— We have a fall and a winter retreat. ONLY PA’s who actively plan and participate in leading parts of the retreat will be allowed to attend.
15. Lead Kicked-Up Bible School— We need several leaders for each KUBS. We may need to rotate these leaders to give everyone the opportunity to shine.
16. Assist with leading meeting. Everyone has leadership gifts and you will be asked to step up—give the talk, generate the icebreaker activity or create the PowerPoint. Jenny will coordinate this.
17. Refrain from gift giving and overt contact. Please, do not give the students individual gifts. Also, many students may want to hug. That’s ok, but let them initiate it. No sitting or laying on each other. (No purpling.)
