CLUB EVENTS

PAD ANNOUNCEMENTS



CLUB DIRECTOR / PASTOR
Club Directors, one of the best people to have on your team is your pastor! Please use this sheet Click Here to get ideas of how to involve your pastor. Ask for a meeting, set up a time, choose the items from the list that are most relevant to you right now. Maybe even schedule a time to meet every month/other month with your pastor to share what is happening in the Club.
Also, if you aren’t a part of the church board, ask if you could be at the next meeting. You should be there! This is where you advocate for your kids and keep the needs/highlights before the church leaders.
