STEWARDSHIP LOG:

  1. The Youth Stewardship Participation Log is similar to the Student Volunteer Service Program Log used by South Florida Public High Schools. 
  2. Our youth ages 12 and in 7th grade through 18 years participating in the Youth Stewardship program will keep a log of specific activities, outlined below, as they serve as stewards of our community.  All log entries are subject to verification.
  3. Teachers and advisors will take attendance for class and event activities and this information will be counted toward each student’s stewardship.
  4. Students DO NOT get signatures for attending Sunday school, Language and Culture, Dance or GOYA classes and events, however it is advised that students check with the teacher and advisor to ensure the attendance count is accurate.
  5. Students are required to enter the following activities in their log sheet and acquire a signature:
    • Participation in the Divine Liturgy or any service in any church.  Parish council members on duty on any given Sunday may sign for church attendance for youth arriving prior to Holy Communion. 
    • Service in the altar or choir in any church.  Acquire the signature of the priest or choir member.
    • Fellowship activities that ARE NOT organized by St Demetrios GOYA.  Students must acquire signatures from teachers or advisors for participation in events outside of these regularly scheduled classes. Find the person in charge of the activity and have them sign off your log sheet.
    • Any festival volunteer work must be logged with a signature from the Festival Volunteer Chairperson.
  6. Participants are responsible for submitting this form to the church office or into one of the colorful stewardship mailboxes each Sunday.
  7. It is the participant’s responsibility to make a copy of the log before it is submitted for his/her records, and to pick up a new form from the Church Narthex, Church Office or from any of the youth program classes each week.
