Parent’s
Of Teens (POT)
Last
Wednesday night we held our first Parent’s Of Teens (POT) meeting.
It was a wonderful time of sharing and planning. We have a great
group of teenagers and need to ensure that we develop them into
Christian Adults that are ready for the future. Our parents
understand that our Youth Ministry should maintain a proper balance
of the five purposes of the Church (Discipleship, Evangelism,
Fellowship, Ministry, and Worship). The excitement was evident as we
began our planning process. As a start, we scheduled two events.
The
first event scheduled is a Fellowship event. On Friday night, May
22nd,
we will be meeting at Rachel and Raymond Sylvestre’s house for a
great night of fun. The fellowship will begin at 6:00 pm and end at
10. Snacks, games, and a bonfire ensure lots of excitement. Our
youth are encouraged to invite their friends. Adults who enjoy being
around our youth are also strongly encouraged to come.
Second,
POT has scheduled another exciting fellowship for the month of June.
I am so excited about this event because it combines two different
purposes. Our event will begin at the Church on Saturday, June 20th,
at 9am. This is the time of our regularly scheduled Ministry
Projects. As a Church, we will be working together to complete our
scheduled projects. Then, at about Noon, we will be heading to
Montreat! I will be leading a hike in Montreat while others prepare
lunch and enjoy the Montreat Park. After the hike (I will make sure
some youth do not return from the hike – for a nominal fee), we
will all spend time together eating and playing in the water at the
Park. No ending time is set. We might even walk down to the
Montreat field and play some games. All are invited.
Once
again, our POTs are excited about the future of our Church and seeing
our youth develop into strong Christian Men and Women. We will be
meeting monthly to schedule future events.
Please
continue to pray for our youth in these difficult times.
