Student Ministry Parent News Letter
Welcome in February!!

I hope you and your family had a great start to the new year, as we are already in the second month of the year. Apologies for just now getting this Newsletter out. I tried to update it last Thursday, but glitches were, bringing me to my announcement about this Parent Newsletter.

Download Youth Ministry, which is who I use to create these newsletters, as of March 31st, will stop their support of the newsletter app. Until then, we are allowed to keep using the app as long as it's operating. We recognize the vital role of communication in partnering with you, and so after this month, I will begin creating this Parent Newsletter on our church's website. Please be on the lookout for next month's website link.

Also, to better our communication and resourcing, I would like for all parents to please email me at [email protected] your contact info (email, phone number, address). Thanks!

Please take a moment to look and see what we have going on within the student ministry this month!
DNOW 2024 is officially scheduled for February 23rd-25th, and we have an exciting announcement to make about this year’s DNOW.

Our regular churches, who are a part of our Jim Ned Community DNOW (FBC Buffalo Gap, Lawn Baptist, and FBC Tuscola), have decided to join our DNOW efforts with that of the Abilene-Callahan Baptist Association DNOW. This DNOW comprises Wylie, Southside, Lyttle, Potosi, and Broadview Baptist Churches.

This decision was based on wanting our students to see and experience the bigger picture of God’s Kingdom in our community, as well as multiplying our efforts in creating a God-glorifying event that focuses on the life-long discipleship of our students who know Jesus while also presenting the Gospel to the lost.

As usual, we will still have our own host homes and lead our small groups. The only thing that will be different is going into Abilene for our worship and daytime activities. This is an excellent opportunity to be a part of the bigger picture of God’s Kingdom in the Big Country!

Registration is now open. A reminder that our churches will only be hosting 7th-12th grades this year for DNOW.

Come and be a part of the best weekend of the year!

STUDENT LIFE REC CAMP
JULY 15TH-19TH 2024

GALVESTON, TX

All info for camp can be found here!

DEPOSIT deadline has passed!

We have a total of 28 students attending camp and we can't wait!

Please be on the lookout for a parent camp groupme to be started with information about a fundraiser that will begin early to mid march.

CAMP THEME: REVIVAL GENERATION!

A movement is happening around the world, and you can be a part of it. In 2024 at Student Life Camp, we are looking to scripture to see how the God of revival redeems His people and how we fit His plan to redeem the world.

Jesus spoke to them again: “I am the light of the world. Anyone who follows me will never walk in the darkness but will have the light of life.” - John 8:12
MARK (We will finish this series on February 14th! Can't believe it!)

SERIES OVERVIEW:

Mark demonstrates that Jesus is Israel's Messiah who inaugurates God’s kingdom through his suffering, death, and resurrection. The book is a carefully crafted story that gives an account of Jesus' life and addresses whether He is the Jewish Messiah. Jesus is our suffering servant! In this series, we will slowly read through the Gospel of Mark, learning how to dissect scripture and rest in God's Word.

SERIES OVERVIEW: (One week series)

When Jesus told the Parable of the Good Samaritan, His audience was not expecting the hero of the story to be their sworn enemy. This message is designed to help your students challenge their own biases and learn to love all neighbors as Jesus did.

ABOUT

The Parent Page is a subscription based resource available for $60/year. That’s only $5/month!

Only one subscription is necessary per organization. We allow and encourage churches and other organizations that subscribe to distribute it to parents. CPYU’s Parent Page is mobile-friendly and can be viewed digitally on any screen or device, but can also be printed out and included with mailed newsletters or monthly calendars, inserted into bulletins, or made available at information tables.

Helping parents and youth workers understand and respond to the complex world of their children and teens from a distinctively Christian point of view is what CPYU is all about. We trust that this resource will help you in your partnership with parents!

A Note from CPYU president Walt Mueller:

“The seeds of The Center for Parent/Youth Understanding were planted when the parents of my youth group students asked me to help them understand their kids’ culture. That was over 30 years ago! A rapidly changing culture has only increased the need for parents. Here at CPYU, we’ve created our monthly Parent Page to be an attractive, hope-filled, practical, and up-to-date resource that youth workers like you can pass on to your parents. I know that parents want and need this information! You’ve got a great opportunity and responsibility to answer that need. I hope that you’ll subscribe to the CPYU Parent Page today!”
