Join Our Prayer Community for Middle and High School Students, Families, and Schools!
Are you a parent looking to connect with others in our Edinbrook Church community? We invite you to be part of a dedicated group of parents who gather in prayer for our middle and high school students, their families, and our local schools.
Whether you have specific prayer requests for your family or student, or simply want to join in prayer for our community, we're here to support you. Send an email to [email protected] to join our prayer group and submit your prayer requests.
Together, we'll uplift our students and families in prayer, knowing that our collective faith is a source of strength and encouragement. Join us in making a difference through the power of prayer!
Also you can submit prayer requests at the bottom of this newsletter in the resources section!

SUBMIT A STUDENT PRAYER REQUEST
We want to pray for our students! Submit Student Prayer Requests in order to share prayer concerns with Tyler, Abby, & your small group leaders, and/or the church prayer team.
REQUEST A ONE-ON-ONE
We know that sometimes the best moments for connection are across a table at a coffee shop, playing disc golf, or eating ice cream. To connect with a small group leader and/or Tyler, Abby, or your small group leaders in a more personal setting, Request a One-on-One!
SHARE YOUR STUDENT EVENTS WITH US
We love to support our students in their activities! Whether it be a soccer game, a play, a chess tournament, or a piano recital, we LOVE having the opportunity to celebrate what our students are doing. Share your Student Events with us so Tyler, Abby, and your small group leader can be notified to come to your event.
We are super excited to let you know about the CPYU Parent Page. CPYU stands for the Center for Parent and Youth Understanding.
The CPYU Parent Page is a monthly newsletter designed by the Center for Parent/Youth Understanding to help keep parents informed about the latest happenings and trends in the world of youth culture.
Each issue will be delivered via the SWAP Newsletter e-mail and available in two formats. A digital online format ideal for reading on your computer screen, tablet, or mobile phone, or if you prefer as a downloadable PDF that can be printed, copied, e-mailed, or even mailed!
The goal of this Parent Page is to help 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.
