Youth News

IMPACT Training Begins This Sunday! Our first training session will take place this Sunday at 4:30 PM in the Green Room. Other IMPACT training dates have been set for the following Sundays: May 25 and June 1. Note: there is no training on June 8 as previously advertised - sorry for any confusion this may have caused. Training is mandatory - if you cannot make a session, you must notify Tom Kern as soon as possible. Training sessions will take place from 4:30-6:00 PM in the Green Room.

IMPACT commisioning will take place Sunday, June 15.

Mother's Day Contest! Last Sunday was Mother's Day. We are having a simple contest that all youth are eligible to participate in - do something special with/for your mom and you (and she) can win a prize! Here's what you have to do:
*Do something special with/for your mom (or other special woman in your life - grandmother, aunt, etc.)
*Take a picture with your mom during the something special you do
*Send the picture and a brief description of what you did to
me
We'll have a random drawing from all the entries received by this Sunday, May 18 - the drawing will take place that night at FaithStation (you do not need to be present to win). Your something special did not have to take place on Mother's Day - so if you still haven't done something with/for your mom, do it now!

Click here for this week's YS Parent Newsletter. This week's issue has an excerpt from The Parent You Want to Be by Drs. Les and Leslie Parrott. It helps us understand why it's important to celebrate our children.

Upcoming Student Activities - Do you have an extracurricular activity (school or community) that you'd like us to know about? Email Stephen and we'll let others know about what you are doing so they can come out and show you support!
