I like to write long essays (seriously, I do), so for your sake I will try to make this one short!!
1. Our 2011 vision statement for Glow Generation Youth is 'We Should Know', and is based on Hebrews 5 and 6 which exhorts us to grow in maturity and be able to teach others what we believe. In essence, this year is dedicated to equipping your kids to be able to share their faith. A huge emphasis is going to be placed on Apologetics and explaining some of our less understood Christian characteristics (for instance... "Why exactly are you 'waiting for marriage...????" or, "Why won't you get drunk with us???"). We want students to be able to say something truer than "Because my pastor said I'm not supposed to".
For a detailed list of preaching topics, as well as all major dates from now until summer - grab an updated Glow brochure from the church foyer!
2. Our nearest major event is happening February 26th and it is a (highly demanded) ALL NIGHTER. My leaders and I are in the epic planning phase, but I want you to know that I could use a ton of help!! If you are free to help us out in shifts that night, please contact me!
3. HistoryMaker is coming up FAST... I can't believe it's nearly here already. Fundraiser are starting. Our first lunch is Feb 6th after church. Please have your son or daughter sign up with me! HM Registration info will be made available asap.
4. As always, if you have any questions, please feel free to call me!!!
