GOA Department of Youth Ministries to Launch 2010 Awareness Campaign for Young Adults

In an effort to revitalize young adult ministry in the Greek Orthodox Archdiocese of America, the Department of Youth and Young Adult Ministries will launch a 2010 National Awareness Campaign for Young Adults: Find them, Greet them, Love them.

In conjunction with Metropolis Youth Offices, the campaign will encourage parish leadership to bring young adults into the realms of the Church, the Orthodox Beacon website reports today.

It is the hope that parishes will embrace this vision of inclusiveness and welcome young adults using the following programs: "10 for 10" in 2010, a program offering 10 service projects throughout the Archdiocese; social networking and enhanced websites; 10 Parish Visitation -- each Metropolis director will visit 10 parishes and assist them in starting one or revitalizing a young adult ministry; and create an avenue for networking this vision, sharing the successes and failures.

For more information, contact your local Metropolitan Office of Youth and Young Adult Ministries or the Archdiocesan Department of Youth and Young Adult Ministries at 646-519-6180.
