Seniors Lead Jr. GAP

Some high school seniors are coming to lead youth group and share about their high school experience. We'll have a time for you to ask any questions you want - about school, dating, God, or whatever! Think about that and get ready for a night of learning from the seniors! 6:30 pm in the Bus Barn.
 Questions for Parents:
1.  How do you feel about entering high school in the next few years?  What fears do you have?  What are you most excited about?
2.  How do you think high school will be different from middle school?  How do you think you'll change?  How do you think your friends will change?
3.  How can you make sure your faith stays strong in high school?  Did the seniors give any advice for this?

Tonight we're going to give you the chance to lead!  Each class will be preparing to lead a lesson during the springtime, and we're going to let you develop your leadership skills.  There will be lots of ways to get involved: lead the game, serve lunch, introduce the Bible story, share a testimony, and more!  Come to Jr. GAP at 6:30 pm on Wednesday, March 7 and jump in!

Here are the dates and topics for each grade:
8th Grade will be leading the 8th Grade Send-Off on May 2.
7th Grade will be leading a lesson on "Encounter through Waiting" with Dan and LaDonna De Vries on April 11.
6th Grade will be leading a lesson  on "Encounter through Tough Times" with Bob Cleveringa on April 18.

Questions for Parents:
1.  What ideas did your group come up with for the lesson you'll be leading?
2.  What are your specific responsibilities?
3.  How was it to work on a team to put together a lesson?  Would you prefer to work alone or in a group?
4.  How do you feel about leading part of a youth group?  Do you see yourself as a leader?
