IMPACT'S NEW WINTER 2014 CALENDAR!
Hey Impact Parents!
Fall is here and cold days,
holidays and 2015 are right around the corner!
What an exciting time of the year and an exciting season of ministering
to students!!
Last year we ran an experiment by
canceling our youth ministries worship service on Sunday morning during the
advent season (December). As a result we
were able to experience the blessing of worship God and waiting for Christmas
together, as the extended family of God.
I’m excited to announce that we are going to do the same again this
year.
I know this may be difficult for
some students and families because it’s just not what we’re use to. However, we feel that it is important to be
together at certain points during the year and we want students to be both
experienced and comfortable with the larger worshiping community at Hope
Center.
I’d like to encourage you to
encourage your son or daughter to join us for this year’s Advent
Celebration. Some may be tempted to
sleep in, avoiding “church” because the youth program isn’t running. While I understand that temptation, I Hope
that you will consider the potential benefits of participation. Worshiping with both your nuclear family and
your church family is a blessing to God and the larger community. Creating opportunities for students to be
exposed to the adult worship service helps them make transitions out of youth
ministries later in life. This is an
important opportunity that I pray you will all take advantage of!
On another note; on Saturday,
November 22nd, Impact will be serving at Creekside Community Church
in Alamo collecting boxes for Operation Christmas Child! We are excited to
participate in bringing Christmas and the Gospel to children around the
world.
We are always so grateful for the
students we work with and how we get to see God at work in their lives. We are also grateful to you, their parents,
who work so diligently to care for them and disciple them. Thank you for letting us play a role in your
family!
