Welcome to the Winter 2014 Parent’s Meeting
ILC Youth Mission Statement Our youth ministry exists to Energize students’ lives with other believers, Expose them to the gospel, Educate them to be mature Christ followers, Encourage lives of worship, and Enable them to act in the community and the ends of the earth.
Encouraging Lives of Worship Through Service As we pursue the next level in our youth ministry mission statement pyramid, we consider another verse from Romans 12… “I urge you, brothers and sisters, in view of God’s mercy, to offer your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and pleasing to God—this is your true and proper worship.” – Romans 12:1
Regarding the Ski Trip Forms and payment where due on Sunday. Light packing is essential. Please have your student deliver one small duffle bag to the church no later that 8:00 AM the day of trip. The night before is optimal. This year breakfast/snack items will be assigned to students to ensure good coverage.
Ski Trip Cont’ Youth need to have enough money for two restaurant meals on the road (one fast food, one sit down). Please send your student with water proof gloves! Our caravan will be leaving at 2:00 PM on Friday, February 28th. If another snow day is in affect we will leave even earlier to ensure safe travel.
