PRETEENS

One goal that we set for the fall of 2008 was to make adjustments and improvements with our Preteen ministry. This is not only a difficult age group but a very energetic one as well. One of the first things we did was to give our ministry a theme for the school year. After much prayer, speaking with experts in this field, more prayer, some research and yes...more prayer we came up with an acronym for Aliens. 1 Peter 2:11 tells us "I urge you as aliens, and strangers in the world, to abstain from sinful desires." The acronym for aliens is

A - Attitudes pleasing to God

L - Living our lives 100% for Jesus

I - Into God's Word

E - Encouraging others

N - Not of this world

S - Supernatural Power of God

If you are a parent of a preteen (Grades 5 & 6), I want to encourage you to bring your friends. If you are a preteen, hey, what are you waiting for? The first 15 minutes is free time, then we play a fun game together. We then dive into our lesson of the week and end with another fun game. Before you know it, parents are at the door waiting to pick up ther kids. It is a fun night! Check it out!
