#1 YOUTH MINISTRY INSTITUTE (YMI) – Adults Only
YMI is an excellent Program for Adult Workers With Youth which has been created by our United Methodist National Youth Workers Movement Organization. The Program will have three Modules, all of which will eventually be offered in Rocky Mountain Conference, at different times and locations throughout our three states.

REJUVENATION is offering, at no additional fee, Modules I and II as a convenience to Youth Workers who were not able to attend when it was offered previously

IMPORTANT NOTE: If you sign up for a YMI Module, this will be your only Workshop; it will begin at 1 p.m. and end at 5 p.m.

a. MODULE I – “Foundations For Youth Ministry Led by Judy Orecchio
b. MODULE II – “Quad Thinking” Led by Brian Riecke
(Each participant will receive a recently published Youth Ministry Resource
Book and a gift bag of useful ‘goodies!’)


#2 “A CAN OF SODA AND A PAIR OF SOCKS” Andrew McClure
from URBAN PEAK
Andrew McClure is a young man whose life was turned around by persons at Urban Peak, and now he is one of those persons who is helping young people to do the same. Come and hear Andrew’s story . . . it’s an AMAZING one!

NOTE: At each Rocky Mountain Conference Youth Event, your Conference Council on Youth Ministry (CCYM) chooses a Project (or Projects) to which we donate monies raised from our Youth Service Fund (YSF) Fundraisers.

URBAN PEAK is the organization they have chosen for monies raised at REJUVENATION. YSF is a Fund with monies raised ‘by Youth; for Youth,” and Urban Peak fits that perfectly!

# 7 “AMAZING GRACE!” DEBRA JUAREZ and MEGAN ARMSTRONG
We talk about ‘grace’ a lot in Church, but is it more than just what we say before we eat? As Christians, and especially as United Methodists, we do think it is more than that! Join us, and experience grace. We may even dump a bucket of it on your head!
