Charting the
Course for Student Ministry
I want to
personally invite you to be at worship this Sunday
evening, August 1, at 6 p.m. We want to talk to you
about our “interim plans” for our youth ministry.
Please share this letter with your parents/guardians – and
bring them along.
Here’s a
heads-up on some of the topics:
-
Our
ministerial staff and Youth Advisory Team will be
working with you to keep all of our programs and
activities alive and vibrant. We’re committed to giving
you our very best.
-
Rev. Rick
Baumgarner will be the “interim” point leader in youth
ministry. He is the one on our ministerial staff that
you will go to if you have any questions. He will also
work very closely with youth music and will be the staff
liaison to the Youth Advisory Council.
-
Dr. Owen
Robertson will be shepherding the Youth Sunday School
Ministry and Wednesday night worship for youth.
-
I, your
pastor, will be shepherding the Discipleship group
ministry. I will also work very closely with the Search
Team for Minister of Students.
t· The
Youth Advisory Council will be charged with planning and
implementing youth events beyond the regularly scheduled
weekly activities. For example, they are taking the lead on
planning the Youth Fall Retreat.
On Sunday evening, we will update you on the progress of
implementing the Search Team for Minister of Students and
discuss a host of other very important issues. We will also
want your feedback.
During this
interim period, we want to love on you as a youth. Our
ministerial team is committed to giving you our very best.
We will not be perfect! You know that! But we want to do
our very best for you to the glory of God! It will take all
of us working together! That means you, your parents, and
the entire church! But we can do it together with God’s
strong leadership!
So, please
make every effort to be present THIS Sunday evening at 6
p.m. in the sanctuary. If you should have any questions,
please do not hesitate to contact me (979-8706 or
jadams@efbc.org).
Your Pastor,
John Adams
