I just got a chance to write down some thoughts about using a blog in the life of a youth ministry over at the Who Are These Guys blog.
Here my favorite section talking about what a Weekend Summary post benefits Parents:
Parents:
In most youth ministries communications parents or pathetically left out even though they are the most important people needing information from you. A post like this gives parents 1) comfort finally having a chance to know what their kids are learning and that it isn’t wacky. 2) It gives them a “trigger” for conversation with their teen during the week to ask them what they thought about the sermon and if they have thought about the challenge/application/ etc.
