AUGUST 2020 eNEWS
We are engaging students each week through zoom with with online games and scavenger hunts, a short message to encourage and equip them to live as Jesus commands and then most importantly, time together with their D-group and group leaders in breakout rooms to discuss the message and be in community together. 

Relationships are a vital part of our ministry and we want to keep your son or daughter engaged and encouraged, especially in this season. Please feel free to reach out if you have any questions about how to get them connected.

and Instagram so you don’t miss a thing!
This Fall there is a unique heaviness on us as families as we prepare to return to school. It’s already a hard season and the unknowns ahead have us bracing ourselves for what might be.

In recognition of this we in Student Ministries would like to do what we can to come alongside your family and specifically create some space for you as you find your new rhythms in the Fall. To help ease the burden we have decided to intentionally not have any Student Ministry activities for the two weeks around the start of school. That means the weeks of August 16 and August 23 we won’t have SENT on Monday nights or NRG on Wednesday nights.

We pray this is a blessing to your families as school begins. Then be ready for the student ministry Fall launch over the week of August 31. It’s going to be incredible!

NOTE FROM OUR TEAM
Our Student Ministry Team has been working hard on plans to have students begin to safely regather in the days and weeks ahead including new systems for safety and best practices in accordance with federal, state, local and church leadership guidelines. All students are welcome to join us at any time.


GATHERING RULES
Everyone must adhere to the following new rules when we gather:

  • Everyone will be temperature checked while you are in your car. Anyone with a temperature above 100.4 will not be able to participate in that event. Anyone feeling ill should also stay home.
  • You will also have to sign-in on our event log, providing us your child’s name and contact info for you- telephone and email address in the event we would need contact you if we were notified of any cases of COVID-19 from our participants.
  • We will be doing our best to maintain social distancing of 6 feet during our events. Immediate family groups would be permitted to sit in closer proximity to one another.
  • We will have hand sanitizer stations available as well as gloves and masks for those who would want or need them.
  • Masks are optional for events held outdoors, however, any event indoors would require the wearing of a mask. 
  • Any food that would be served during an event would be either individually packaged items (bottled water, bagged cookies, chips, etc.) or if pizza was ordered, it would be served by one of our volunteers wearing masks and gloves who would be distributing the pizza to the students. They would not be permitted to just reach in and grab a slice of pizza. Individual s’mores kits would be provided with disposable sticks for example. 
  • For any games we would play that would require students catching or hitting balls or passing items to each other (egg toss) we would require them to wear gloves in order to participate. 
  • Stay tuned to our Facebook page in case of inclement weather.
All students are invited to experience living out our motto as
YOUR LIFE is YOUR MISSION! Friends always welcome!
