Fall Ministry

Here's a (not-so) short summary of what we've got going on for this fall.

Sunday nights, starting September 13th, the high school students can participate in an in-home study on sex and sexuality. Letters were sent home to all parents of High School students informing you of this opportunity. If you haven't seen the letter, we have copies of it downstairs in the Crash Room. We are asking that parents sign the permission slip and give permission for their students to participate. The book that we'll be using is $5. Guys will be meeting on Sunday nights from 6-7:30 at Darvin and Karen Green's house on the corner of Union Road and 725. Girls will be meeting at Dustin and Rachel's house in Germantown, same night and time. Permission slips need to be turned in by Sunday, August 30, so we can order the books and have them come in in time for our study.

Wednesday nights are planned out until Christmas. We will be doing a series of 3 separate Bible studies throughout the fall, punctuated by service projects and game nights.

Our mentoring program, Life Hurts God Heals, is also in the works. This counseling ministry is designed to help students who are dealing with pain in life from abuse, cutting, addictions, anger, etc...There are several caring Christian adults who are being prepared to lead small groups of students through an 8-step recovery process that will span 13 weeks, beginning September 14. This ministry is available to middle and high school students, and the small groups will be divided according to age and gender. Monday nights are tentatively scheduled as the night that these groups will meet, but we are still working to make that a sure thing. We will be sending out a letter to parents informing you of this ministry which we are praying God will use to bring healing and stability into the turbulent life of teenagers.

Ok. That's all for now. We are scheduling the normal monthly activities for the fall too and will post them on here as soon as they are set in stone.

Winter Trip details are also coming soon, so check back in...
