Important Ways for You to Help:
∙Encourage students to regularly attend our Wednesday Night Ministries and other events.
∙Help reflect with your children after each Wednesday Night CORE or TOWER. Get further than “fine” or “good” by digging into conversation with them.
∙Participate in Adult Worship on Wednesdays @ 6:00pm and be involved with leadership for a ministry.
∙Volunteer to help with Ministry Events. Just look over the Events Calendar (available on the Youth Information Board or online – see link below) and let me know how you want to serve.
∙Let me know if you are interested in leading a Student Small Group or further developing relationships with students.
