What's Happening in the YPD?

Get ready young people! It's time for the District YPD Leadership Training Institute.

Where: Wyndham Virginia Crossing Hotel and Conference Center in Richmond, VA

When: November 30-December 1, 2012

We have a great weekend of training and fun planned for you!!

A Panel Discussion will challenge YPD officers at all levels-District, Conference, Area, and Local to take a serious look at some of the issues confronting the organization and come up with the workable solutions for ensuring a vibrant, relevant, and effective YPD organization.

Workshops to enhance communication skills and strengthen overall leadership skills will be available for each age group.

• Not Shutting Up Anymore: This workshop will assist young people in communicating their ideas thoughts, and messages in a clear, concise, effective, and non-threatening manner through a series of fun skills and techniques.
• Who R U? This workshop will help young people explore who they are as individuals and assist them in understanding and unleashing their God-given gifts to the glory of God and in service to humankind.
• Let It Go: This workshop will teach young people how to let go of things such as hurts, disappointments, etc. that might inhibit their growth or block blessings in their lives.
• Workshop Through the Arts: will help our young people understand that music, dance, and poetry are ordained by God and can be found throughout the Bible where we find music being played to soothe the soul, choirs being anointed to bring forth praise, and people breaking out in dance before the Lord.
• For our directors, we will talk about What's the Job, engage in leadership exercises, and discuss how Prayer,Worship, and Praise are the prerequisites for getting it right.

We have a tight schedule, but if we can and weather permits, we just might have a quick game of basketball, volleyball, or soccer on the campus, or perhaps hit the putting green to improve our golf score.

Wyndham offers health food choices which we have planned for your enjoyment!

Can't wait to see you! Register early through your conference director.
