Communications
Means and methods of
communications are changing so rapidly that I have no way of
predicting what forms will be in use when you encounter these
suggestions, so...
- Try to extract a principle from any anachronistic hints.
- Don't underestimate how terribly hard it is to communicate
with the youth. There is a great deal of information overload and
means of communication have fragmented with no one method being
universal. The trend is toward point-to-point communication such as
texting rather than mass communication such as email.
- You can do your youth a favor by stressing that if they are
going to interact or get along with the adult world (Colleges, jobs,
etc) they have to use email. They should check their email
addresses no less than once a day.
- Create Facebook groups for the different age groups for your
church. This allows sending a single message to all those who join
that group.
- As Twitter continues to expand this is a good way to communicate with a specialized or generalized group
- Newsletters and mailings are mostly for the parents. A youth
might see a postcard.
