Idea: Free Photos
So maybe I’m liking ths idea just becasue it gives me the opportunity to use my new digital camera. But as I was watching the Christmas concert for our local school system I was inspired with an idea to demonstrate to teens and their parents that I was thinking about them. I started shooting not only pictures of the choir and band as a whole, but I also pulled out the telephoto and started snapping shots of individual teens from our youth ministry. My idea is to send each student a card to let them know how much I appreciated their performance, and to include a print or two of them from the pictures I took. Granted, not very profound as ideas go, but it is cheap, practical, and very personal.

I like the idea. I recently talked to another youth pastor who regularly sends her students personalized post cards. She said it’s good because it helps give a personal touch to her ministry and it also is something that the parents see in the mail and they know you’re involved as well. Often parents don’t see all the stuff we do to open lines of communication, but this is something that lets them know that we’re making an effort for their child personally.
