Speaking Opportunities

I didn't feel like talking about these things right when I got home, so my wife might find out about these opportunities from this blog. Lucky for me, I didn't commit to anything, just was made aware of opportunities.

It feels good to be wanted sometimes. Today, I was asked if I could help lead a youth group weekend retreat, at a church I've never been to. The youth pastor needs a male leader (the yp is a female) and has gotten some sermon writing help from me at seminary. I don't know if I'll go yet, (as I haven't talked to the wife) but it is nice to be wanted.

The other is largely different. From a Presbyterian Youth Group to Pentecostal Young Adults. I was asked if I would be available to teach on occasion at a young adult group that is just getting started at a well-known large church in the area. I'm excited about this opportunity, and will be meeting with the leaders of this new group soon to figure out what might work with our schedules.

I love the experience of teaching, both sermons and classroom style. If you are ever looking for a teacher of any kind (in religious subject of some form) I'd be more than happy to sit down and talk with you.
