High Ropes Registrations Due Tomorrow!

High school students: High Ropes Registration forms & $25 payment are due tomorrow night, Oct. 12th. About 12 students expressed interest but we have NO registrations yet. This is such a great opportunity to take advantage of, but we won’t be able to take late registrations because of UCF’s policies for the course. If you’re hoping to come, please make sure to get this one in on time.

If you need another copy of the waivers (they were emailed to parents), please contact Matt Lowe or comment below requesting a new set.

Sticky Faith Parents’ Breakfast

Studies are showing that up to 50% of students who graduate form youth ministries drift from God and the church after finishing high school. As parents & youth leaders, how can we help reverse this trend? 

Fuller Youth Institute has spent 5 years working to uncover ways to help students “stick” with their faith long after high school. We’ll unpack some of their findings together at our Sticky Faith Parents’ Breakfast, Saturday, Sept. 24th, 9:30 – 11am.

If you’re looking for tools to help your students build a faith that stick, want to connect & pray with other parents, and hear more about where Student Ministries is heading this school year, please come! You’ll also receive a special offer for the new Sticky Faith book coming out later this month.

You can RSVP on the bulletin board, by emailing Laura at laura@naclongwood.org or on the Facebook event. Please sign up for an item to bring.
