Hello, District NYI Convention is coming up March 9, 2012 from 7-9pm at the Nampa College Church of the Nazarene. NYI Convention occurs during our District Main Event (quizzing, athletic, talent competition) which takes place March 9-10, 2012 at Northwest Nazarene University. While you do have to pay to attend District Main Event, your delegates don't pay to attend NYI Convention.
NYI Convention is held annually and it includes elections of NYI Council members, various reports, worship, and a guest speaker.
Churches need to register their NYI delegates by submitting a list of names with contact information (phone number and address) to Teresa Clark the NYI Secretary by March 1, 2012. Email her the list tclark@valleyshepherd.org You can call 208-888-2141 to verify she received your email.
Your delegates are required to be members of your local Church of the Nazarene. Please verify their membership.
Each church can bring a set amount of delegates to the NYI Convention. In order to figure out how many delegates you can bring follow the instructions below:
You don't have to be a delegate to attend District NYI Convention. There will be a special area marked reserved just for the delegates. Anyone can attend, and I encourage that non-delegates attend. There will be areas where non-delegates can sit and watch as reports are given.
The number of delegates you can have is determined by the following example:
1) Look in the 2011 Intermountain District Assembly Journal on page 85 (pages are only numbered through page 81, use your math skills). Locate your church name and look under column 28 (NYI Membership) and this will tell you what your church reported as the number of NYI members. (The members are not necessarily members of the Nazarene church; they are the number of teens/young adults in your ministry responsibility list.)
2) Then look in the 2009-2013 Manual on pages 291-293 to determine how many delegates you can bring.
