Praise and Worship Night hosted by teen ministry coming in March
This event will be open to the whole parish community. Laura Cilia (Musician at the 4:30) will be leading us in worship. The night will include scripture and reflections followed by refreshments. Group Me group chat We have created a group chat using groupme. This app allows us to connect with teens and to connect them with each other while keeping personal information (cell phone numbers) private. The groupme has several adult leaders in it as well as a parent to monitor it. Teens are invited to join after they attend an event. Sunday Night Update We are meeting every Sunday from now until Easter. This Sunday we will be finishing up the prayer series then we will begin a Bible study on the 7 Last words of Christ. Attendance Raffle Since our Sunday gatherings are divided into series, ideally teens would be able to attend the whole series to get the most out of it. For our prayer series, teens will receive a raffle ticket for each session they attend. They can also get an extra ticket if they bring someone who has not been before. A $25 dollar gift card has been raffled off and a $50 will be raffled out this Sunday. |

Leader testimonies
Starting in January our leaders have started to share part of their faith stories during the last 15 minutes of dinner. Each leader will have a designated night and teens will be able to ask questions afterwards. The goal is to allow the teens to hear about why God and our faith are important to us and why we each have decided to be teen ministry mentors. Part of the goal of teen ministry is to connect teens with faithful adults so that they can encounter living faith. We hope this sharing will also lead to the teens being more open with their own sharing
