Middle School Moments

HELLO ALL!

I hope you had a wonderful Thanksgiving Holiday and are anxiously awaiting the Christmas Season.

THANKS GOD!
~ For awesome volunteers in the Youth Ministry. They really are wonderful and do an amazing job.

~ This may not seem all that important, but we have been able to update our youth ministry database over the last month. This is a stepping stone to building closer relationships with the teens. This is something I am personally really pumped about.

~ For the fun we get to have on the weekend. Over the past few weekends I have had some great moments of hanging out with kids and enjoying being at church.

~ For the regular flow of visitors that come to our ministry.

PRAY FOR:
1 - The student community groups that are meeting regularly. We want to ask God to bless the relationships between the leaders and kids, as well as, the relationships between the kids. We also want to ask that kids gain a deeper understanding of who God is through his word.

2 - We have a few minor technical issues going on in the youth rooms. We are making progress on them, but could use prayer.

3 - We have a connection/training weekend scheduled in January for the youth ministry volunteer leaders. We just want to ask that everything line up so we can get as many of the leaders there as possible. We also want to come away from that really excited about youth ministry and feeling very equipped to do the work God has given us to do in youth ministry.

4 - Please also be in prayer for families during this Christmas season. I know this sort of gets said every year, but it does affect our youth.

THANKS FOR PRAYING FOR OUR YOUTH MINISTRY!

peace!
