Help Us Improve!

bridgeThis year we tried to do a better job of connecting with parents.  Our desire is to help parents disciple and hand their faith off to their kids.  In so doing, we don’t want our ministry programs to get in the way of that imperative, but we want it to supplement the important work each parent does in raising godly kids.  This year we have tried to consistently have blog entries that would keep parents in the loop as far as teaching and insights go.  We have consistently sent prayer requests and kept those needs in front of the parents who desired to pray for our ministry (Thank you for making that happen Heather Gendvilas!).  We had two parent visit nights during the year for Fusion in order to help parents connect with their student’s small group leader.  We used the prayer requests to also communicate the upcoming meeting schedule for Elevation and Fusion in order to keep the most up-to-date information in front of you.  We have also tried to always keep our Atrium information station stocked with the most current information every Sunday morning so you can always have access to it in a convenient way.

Although these have been many ways we have tried to build bridges with parents this year, we understand that we missed many parents in the process as well.  I’m sure many of you have had conversations with concerned friends who feel in the dark about what is happening in the Junior High.  Help us do better next year by either encouraging those parents to comment to this blog about how we could improve or pass on their concerns to us so we can start to formulate new strategies for next year.  We want to keep improving and growing so you can have confidence that we not only love your kids with a deep and abiding love, but we love and support you too!  We want the best for you as parents and will work tirelessly until we build a bridge to every parent!

Thanks for the joy of serving Christ by serving you!
