Keep your eyes and ears open for the announcement of the first TCUYMN retreat – Urban Spirituality. We are working on presenters and location details but know that urban youth workers need this type of spirituality retreat and we hope to make this happen. If you are interested in helping to plan or have ideas to enhance this event, please contact info@tcuymn.org. Details coming soon.

Watch the calendar for details regarding the ELCA Youth Ministry Network Extravaganza is Tampa, Florida 2007. The TCUYMN, along with other urban networks will be hosting the second annual Urban Ministry Intensive Care Workshop and the 6th Annual Retreat for Urban Ministry.

We are working with the Youth Ministry Network to again include more resources for urban ministry and those who want to partner with us; in that vein, what would normally be a $125 registration fee for the IC workshop is only $25...We NEED you to support this opportunity! With the reduced airfare for TCUYMN members going down to the Extravaganza on Thursday it gives us all the opportunity to make it happen, and we get some needed extra time together! Hope to see you there...remember, you must sign up for the IC on the Network website! www.elcaymnet.org

For urban youth workers and allies. Come and check out urban ministry in and around Tampa, share your stories, learn something new, and network with other urban youth workers.
