This Fall, our church will be launching a ministry to reach youth ages 10-13, grades 4th-7th (if a kid fits any of those criteria, they are welcome to join in !) It will be Wednesday evenings from 6-8 pm and will include worship, a lesson, prayer, and activities such as arts and crafts, games, and time to “hang out” and play foosball,  ping pong, etc., or even do home work. To relieve stress on busy   families, we are also planning to serve dinner for the participants. Rob Jock is taking the lead on this ministry initiative, but we will need more help. Some roles are very active and involved with the youth, while others are behind the scenes, and others are for a short part of that night’s program. People could serve weekly, or every other week, or even   every other month. Everyone working    directly with the youth will need to be trained in Safe Sanctuary policies and have a background check to ensure everyone’s safety. Pray about and consider what God may be  calling you to do.
The ministry will begin on September 10th with a Back-to-School Bash—a fun party to get us started and get to know each other.

If You know of any youth who may be  interested, please invite them! We are hoping to have invitations and flyers, as well as registration forms available soon. We will also need people to sign-up to provide dinner weekly, and that sign-up will also be available soon.
​
Please pray fervently for this ministry   initiative—for area  youth to respond and choose to participate, for the leaders to be led by God’s guidance and wisdom, for our church to be inspired and excited to support and even get    involved, and that the ministry has a kingdom impact, reaching lives for Jesus Christ.
