Gearing Up for Youth Sunday!
Jr. GAP will be leading the worship service at MRC on Sunday night, February 26 @ 6:30 pm! Our theme will reflect what we've been talking about year - ENCOUNTER. It's going to be a wonderful night of student-led worship, testimonies, skits, and more!
This Wednesday (February 15) we start practicing for the service. It's so important that each student is there so they know their part. Bring your props, music, instruments, or whatever you need for practice! Meet in the Bus Barn at 6:30 pm, and we'll break up into our teams from there.
Questions for Parents to Ask Students:
1. What is your role in Youth Sunday? How are you involved in the service?
2. What did you do tonight to prepare for your role? Are you enjoying it?
3. Can you see yourself doing this in church in the future? Is this something you'd like to continue doing after Youth Sunday is over? We can talk to Tracy about having you continue with this ministry...
4. What other ways would you like to get involved at church? How else can you use your gifts and talents for God?

Dating & Relationships
Jr. GAP - Regular Time, Regular Place!
Our guest speakers for the night will be Kyle & Teresa Blankers, talking about dating and relationships. We will be touching on this topic on a variety of levels, from the emotional aspect to the physical. Yes, we will be talking about sex and the way God intended for it to be used. If you don't feel comfortable having your son or daughter attend this, we ask that you do something special as a family instead! We just have many students whose parents do not teach their kids that sex is intended for marriage, and we feel strongly that this must be stated very clearly and presented in love. It will be a night of great discussions, questions, and challenges. We hope to see your student there!
Questions for Parents:
1. How do you feel about "dating" in middle school?
2. Discuss your expectations and boundaries, as the parent, for dating.
3. Why is it important to save sex for marriage? What are the emotional consequences of having sex too soon?
