Sunday evening was the perfect Autumn event. It was our annual? youth group bonfire at the Lucas' family farm. Over 20 youth showed up to carve pumpkins, roast hot dogs and veggies and make smores (of course). The end of the evening is always the fun of hide and seek in the dark. And it is certainly getting darker earlier these days.
Sarah Lucas is doing such a fine job with our young people. From Sunday morning youth group, to bonfires, to mission trips; she is there building relationships with and among our kids. It is so great to see them having so much fun together. As a pastor, I enjoy the opportunity to let my hair down (what hair?) and carve pumpkins and make smores. We are blessed to have so many youth in our church and we are blessed to have Sarah. Many thanks to the parents who help make youth group happen at PCMK.
Raising Good Kids is what youth group is about and it is what we have been talking about in our parenting series on Sunday mornings. On this past Sunday we focused on the unique challenges of raising teenagers. This coming Sunday we will learn how to have a toolbox of effective parenting techniques. Not all methods work for all families in all situations, so we need to have options.
No matter whether you have kids or not, we encourage everyone to attend this last class after church and join in our shared task of "Raising Good Kids."
See you in church,
Pastor Dale
