Happy summertime, parents! We hope your family is having a blast and enjoying the calm before a new school year.

Here are a few things coming up in our ministry . . .

ADD YOUR OWN DATES: SUMMER CAMP & MISSION EXPERIENCE MEETINGS
Before you let us take your kid to summer camp or on a mission experience, you probably have some questions. Be sure to stop by our parent meetings so you can get all the answers!

ADD YOUR OWN DATES: OPEN HOUSE
If you’re new to our ministry (or you just want to hang out with us for a few minutes) we’d love to see you at our Open House in August so we can introduce you and your teenager to our youth ministry! Get the details on our website.

A 4-WEEK SERIES ON EVANGELISM

SERIES OVERVIEW:

Have you ever been confident about something (like, really confident) only to find out later that you were really wrong? It happens! We’re all bound to get things wrong once in a while, but when our eyes are opened to the truth, what matters is that we change our minds. But when it comes to Jesus, it’s not always easy to know what the truth is or how to share that truth with others. What do we do with all of the big questions that hard to answer? Is Jesus still trustworthy even when His followers mess up or life gets hard? In this 4-week series, God invites us to look, and then see, that Jesus is someone we can believe in, Jesus teaches us new things, God can use your story to help others see, and God gives us the strength to keep following Jesus.

Here’s an easy way to encourage teenagers to pray (or to step up your own prayer game): think about the words you say all the time, like “please,” “thanks,” and “sorry.” Tell God “thanks” when you’re grateful, “sorry” when you’ve messed up, and “please” when you need help. These three words are a simple prompt we can use to talk to God every day.

If you’re subscribed to Grow Your Ministry, now would be a good time to attach Parent Tip Video #12 from your Parents section.

It can sometimes be tricky to condense the big story of God (or your story of faith) into something easy to explain and share, but we love THIS method by James Choung!
