8/9 Parent Meeting Materials
We had a parent meeting after worship back on August 9. For those who missed it please click here to download all the shared materials, as well as an audio recording of the meeting.
One important thing that was announced is that everyone needs to fill out new permission to treat forms. You can find those linked above.
I also shared a parent questionnaire that I’d love for parents to fill out. The questionnaire is pertaining to things discussed at the meeting. Click here to access.
Fall Wednesdays
On Wednesday nights in the Fall we’ll be bringing back small groups with our focus being on cultivating three different kinds of key relationships: Friends, Mentors, and Proteges. To ensure we have time for small group discussion LYF will begin at exactly 6:45. BYO dinner and open gym will begin at 5:35 and end at 6:35.July Dates and Details
Fall Retreat
Our Fall Retreat will once again be the weekend before thanksgiving, November 20-22, at Smoky Mountain Christian Camp. The cost will be $85 which includes lodging, food, activities, and a t-shirt. The theme will be anxiety, and we’ll be joined by a couple of different counselors from Laurel that will help us explore the theme for the weekend. Like last year’s retreat, I want to give students an opportunity to ask questions about the theme. Students can submit a question in advanced by clicking here…or by submitting a question at the retreat.
