One of our Church’s small groups asked to see me once for input -- three of their members were involved with the Church Youth. Could they, they gingerly asked, close the Youth Group for just one night? They were growing weary. I said: “Close the Youth for a whole month if you need to. The priority is that you should be spiritually refreshed. You daren’t get worn down. This is a priority throughout the Church.” OBSERVATION: Their leading the (thriving) Youth was very challenging -- it might have been described as low-level warfare. I have at some time or other taken this same approach with various members of staff and office-bearers.
