Student Ministries 411- August 15

There is no youth or any churchwide ministry tomorrow night. We will see you next Wednesday night for the first night of small groups!

Here is an overview of what was covered during Parent Night Out last Wednesday!

• Please read the WOL Scholarship Informational Booklet. This book was gone over in detail during Parent Night Out to help you all as parents understand the purpose behind WOL and the scholarship requirement if your student decide to pursue earning WOL Scholarship this year. Please read this and reach out to us if you have any questions at all!
• Our main ways of communicating with you all as parents is through our Weekly 411, our Instagram page, and our Facebook page. Our Student Webpage is also a helpful resource with info about WOL Scholarship, helpful links, and info about youth ministry. Make sure to stay up to date with youth ministry by reading these pages regularly throughout the year!
• Check out our Year at a Glance Calendar for the year! We are excited for these events!
• If your student plans to participate in any of these events this year, please fill out our annual Health Form. This must be filled out each year for each student that is in youth ministry.

Please reach out if you have any questions about this information!

One of our core values as a youth ministry is to help students develop their own faith by learning how to prioritize spiritual disciplines. Offering WOL Scholarship is one way that we seek to implement this value. WOL Scholarship provides a measurable way for parents and small group leaders to hold students accountable through tracking these spiritual disciplines throughout the year. The goal is accountability and growth in order to, Lord-willing, establish life-long habits. For a breakdown of each category required for WOL scholarship, please read our updated WOL Scholarship Informational Booklet. 

If your student is interested in completing WOL Scholarship this year and would like to purchase a quiet time book, they can purchase it online and it will be available to be picked up at Parent Night Out!

A few weeks ago, we announced that our Youth Summer 2024 trip will be to Israel and will be led by Pastor Nathan Smith! Our rising 10th-12th grade students are invited to apply for this trip next summer and applications will open on August 20! More information to come!

Applications for the Local Mission trip are also opening on August 20! This trip will be open to 7th-12th graders and we are so excited to serve with many of you in Lynchburg this summer! 

(10th-12th grade students will have to pick between applying for the Israel Trip OR the Local Mission Trip)
