Parent update for June

Parents:

Summer is almost here and there are many events coming up. If you were unable to attend the monthly parent meetings last week, please take this opportunity to learn more of what is happening in Crossroads Student Ministries.

For Everyone:

“Open House Sunday” - June 15 , 22, and July 20 12:00 pm in rooms 203/204
Each meeting is identical where we have an opportunity to discuss this coming Fall and the student program. Over the past couple of months I have been challenged to take a hard look at our youth program and ask myself the question, What is it going take for us to ‘take the next step’ in youth ministry. I spent a few days away at a Student Ministries Conference with some volunteers, parents, and key leaders. We heard about the future of youth ministry throughout the country. I would like to share some of those insights. that God has placed on my heart concerning our students here at Princeton Alliance Church and the surrounding area. Let’s sit down, talk through them and build a program together that can make a difference in this community.

May 27 & 28 in our current series on Tuesday and Wednesday nights we talked about how to choose the right friends and who of those friends will help us make it through the summer. This series is set up to help students be prepared for the summer challenges. We than conclude the year with a night of worship (June 3&4) and a night of celebration (June 10&11). We are already starting to promote the summer events and will mail information to you/your students within the next few weeks.
