Using the setup time for AYM Fri - what if there was a lowkey icebreaker/conversation prompt you could put at the front near welcome table/on the side i.e. a sticky note board with "high/low/buffalo" or "draw something that describes your perfect saturday"

I think we should have tried to gear christmas to outreach opp since people want to celebrate/open to check out a xmas party. -sonia

Need to keep making efforts to make group more cohesive. Maybe we could do smaller hangouts together like maybe just high school guys

We had a long meeting with the officers (2 girls) during winter break. I think it was really helpful to inspire them and to communicate our heart that we want them to thrive spirtually and not burn out and put on club on their own. They seemed to really appreciate it! -sonia

Maybe switch up where we give bible study at GS

So that there is less noise bleeding through the divider and distracting people

Maybe stop going out to poster for our events?

- Might be better if we get to HS Instagram or some online outlet?

Is MBS going to be at 8:30 from now on? From our experience this past Sunday, we find it hard for CMC team to do our IH service on time.

# data[].attributes.body
Using our contacts, we should find more clubs so we can meet more students - maybe later on it can be a service opportunity for college students and 1st year grads as well.

How much do we care about inter-age relationships? I notice that the 4-6 students sometimes only sit with other 4-6 students even when we specifically tell them to have diversity at the table

It would be cool to go on a mission trip in the summer. One of the students mentioned that he wanted to go on a mission trip this year during the discussion time on Friday

During one of the breaks it was fun to go out with some of the HS bros to Midway. I think it help build connections with students.

- Maybe this is something we could do more with other students? Maybe more for HS?

# data[].attributes.body
It was encouraging hanging out with Truong and David during Winter break and how they get along quite well and we had a lot of fun hanging out toegether. We had dinner + watched Thor Ragnarok at Ryan's place on Tuesday and then dumpling making at Benhurst on Friday the same week. Truong also hungout a lot at Tennis Club to do homework.

nice time of sharing w/ 10th grade girls. past fri, shared goals for 2022. they shared about wanting to read bible more/devotions, so trying to see if we can get together wkly, midwk to make that happen!

# data[].attributes.body
The 4-6th graders are clearly in a different place from the older students. I don't know if we could pull of crafts with the HS guys, but the 4-6 guys seem to like it. I don't know if we need to keep exactly 4-6 together in particular, but having a grouping of younger people together feels more natural than I anticipated.

# data[].attributes.body
I think we can introduce our own kids into the 4-6th and build that up since we are already doing that and that will help feed into middle school/hs youth in the future. any thoughts on this?

# data[].attributes.body
Many of them show interest on coming to the mid week DT ( starting this thursday), we'll see how that goes

# data[].attributes.body
I feel that attending students extracurricular activities whether its a sports game, music recitals, robotics competition, or any performance really helps strengthen our relationships with the students. Being there to support them and seeing them outside our typical Friday and Sunday times.

Rosette comes to Sunday service pretty regularly now. She seems really hungry for content and to connect with people around her age and even the teachers. She seems really engaged with the content and opened up more personally this past SWS. She said at her church there are only other teens who go. They are 3 boys and they are siblings so she feels out of place. Thankful for her eagerness to want to grow spiritually. -sonia

Following TFN to AYM Fri - thankful to first off be able to meet in person more! It's crazy to think about how we had started off TFN in zoom, not even really knowing who these students were or even what they looked like with their cameras off and mics off most of the time. thankful to have gotten to where we are now with the TFN students even meeting and getting to know other Christian students from Element, and excited to see how forging a youth group together will turn out.

# data[].attributes.body
In the past there used to be a focus retreat/monthly and we are no longer doing that, would there be interest in trying to group up w/ maybe Irvine and doing a Socal youth AYM retreat? think that would be something to work towards

# data[].attributes.body
Should we continue having the 4th - 6th grouping or shift towards an actual MS split of 6th-8th and 9th-12th?

It's been good meeting with other youth workers in the area (Tony, Nick - UYC lead, Mudia), many of them are on their own like one guy leading 100+ students in bigger high schools pre-pandemic times. Personally seeing the need to do more and realizing we have a lot to give, we are so well resourced, it's just that we need to be meet these students and build relationships with them. (JW)

# data[].attributes.body
- I've personally been blessed working with some of the UYC workers.
- It's been helpful to see what are some things that we could try at HS/MS
- Also, they helped us get connected to students

Ben and I have been doing Course 101 with David before service. He asks a lot of good questions and wants to understand the material. Also it's an opportunity to talk through questions about faith and what it means to prioritize God in his life

# data[].attributes.body
Encouraged David comes to DT every week and always shares. It's also encouraging that his sharings aren't shallow

# data[].attributes.body
we had opportunities to get together as IH altogether, IH Connect before, think this might be something we want to continue/restart. downtime with the students that we normally don't get as much time with. and through these we can loop in the aym fri students as well

# data[].attributes.body
Many of the students still come even when we moved back to Zoom and they had their camera on and engaged in discussion.

5th grade girl at CMC who used to be shy is now eager to understand the Sunday messages and ask questions. She looks forward to each Sunday. With the ability to communicate through microsoft teams, she always wants to talk each day about her day, share her struggles, and asks for help

# data[].attributes.body
I think AYM Friday has been helping the students connect more with students they didn't know before. I see them slowly getting to know each other and see them interact more each time. I think it would help to keep thinking of ways to group them together. We have done post message sharing but need more ways to group them up- potentially girls midweek small groups. -sonia

# data[].attributes.body
- It was neat to see students come to D2S even though it was something scary for them
- Personally, I was excited to see one of our students want to go out and share the G.OS.P.E.L

Think there has been trust and good relationship established with the viet families. Things like the christmas dinner that the staff went to, seeing them in their home setting and learning more about their background was good. Think this has allowed us to try new venues, groupings, and other things we want to propose

# data[].attributes.body
Students are warming up and feel like there is a huge opportunity to reach kids that don't have much exposure to Christianity at all but who are spiritually hungry

# data[].attributes.body
haven't been able to meet up with the students very often outside of Sundays, and only a couple students each time

# data[].attributes.body
Some of the students are actually really into completing the challenges - like the Winter Challenge where 3 of them finished the book "Case for Christmas" and summarized it. (JW)

Excitement of Clairemont HS Club leaders to restart Faith Club at the school.
