Welcome to the 2011- 2012 Youth Group Season!
We are looking forward to a really great year. Now only a week and a half away from the first youth night of the year, I thought it was a good idea to update you parents on a few things coming up.
The first thing you need to know about is our new mentorship initiative. Our goal for this ministry is to have each one of the highschool aged students in our church to be in an intentional mentorship relationship. These groups will all look different, some are in groups of 3 or 4, others will be one on one, some will read books, others will grab coffee. The idea is to have committed Christian members of the church and community pouring into our young people. If you have a child in this age range and have not yet recieved any information, please contact me at the church or by email (youth@actoncrc.com). Also, if you are interested in becoming a mentor there will be training made available to you on Saturday Sept. 24th here at Bethel church at 9:30 am with Dave Overholt, Lead Pastor of Church on the Rock (Hamilton) feel free to come out and check it out.
The second thing that we have coming up is the Brett Ullman presentation. On friday October 21st Brett will be sharing his talk for students on self injury. If you are unaware of what self injury is, please inform yourself. This is a problem affecting 1 in 6 teenagers in North America. Brett will also be sharing a discussion for parents on the morning of Saturday October 22nd at 9 in the morning, on Media, Faith and Culture. He will be dealing with many of the prevailing issues concerning teens in this day and age. I strongly encourage all parents to take advantage of this amazing opportunity. If you would like any more information on Brett or his ministry check out his website www.brettullman.com
That's it for now, looking forward to getting back into the swing of things this fall!
