 Students (7th – 12th grade) are a high priority at Warrenton Christian Church. We want to help students understand Jesus Christ in a real and authentic way. We understand the best way for this to happen is with parent involvement. This means that we not only desire to help students grow and mature in their faith, but we also desire to help parents grow and mature in their faith.
These are the top five things that parents and students need to know about Student Ministries. For more information about these events, how to get involved (both as a parent and student) contact Mike Packer or Suzanne Corliss.
#1 Super bowl Party Kick-off is at 3:30pm on February 7th. Students and families welcome. Stop by the Corliss house as we watch who will become the next Super Bowl Champion. Ladies bring the snacks and guys bring drinks.
#2 February 14th In a world filled with pornography, sexual innuendo, and alternative lifestyles, how can a student hope to keep pure in body and mind?. Beginning on February 14th on Sunday nights we will begin teaching students about living pure inside out. At the end of these five lessons students will be asked to make a commitment to remain sexually abstinent until marriage. We understand that parents still have the most influence in a student’s life. Because of this, lesson points and discussion starters will be available in order to keep the conversation going at home.
#3 30 Hour Famine Mark your calendar for February 19th and 20th for an overnighter at the church building. For 30 hours, participants get a taste of hunger by not eating - something more than a billion people around the world experience every day. The 30 hour famine event will begin at 6:00 pm on Friday, February 19th, and end at 6:00 pm February 20th. Students will need to begin fasting on February 19th at noon. Permission slips are available at the church. As soon as your student turns in a permission slip they will be given a packet to begin raising funds. Remember, every $30 your student raises will feed a child for a month. Visit www.30hourfamine.org for information on this worldwide youth event. We need parent support for this, so give Mike or Suzanne if you are available for all or part of the time.
#4 Youth Bowling March 7th marks the first Sunday in March. Which means it is time to go bowling. Students should meet at the church at 5:30 pm and we will return by 8:30 pm. Bring $10.00 for the games and shoes.
#5 Open Door The door is always open! For more information about these events, how to get involved (both as a parent and student), any other questions contact Mike Packer or Suzanne Corliss. |
