Dear Middle School Parent: Since the new year is about starting over, we would like to take a moment and tell you about our fresh start. "Ablaze" is a ministry of highschool teens that love to shine our light and are 'hot on fire' for the Lord. We currently lead Wednesday night worship for the teens, introduce new songs, and lead bible studies on retreats. Now we would like to be apart of your teen's and many other Middle Schooler's Christian walk. Beginning this month, the "Ablaze" Crew would like to restart the Middle School Bible Studies that previously took place last year. We would love to sing, worship, and learn about the Good Book by teaching and leading worship every third Sunday night. We will provide activities, construct lessons, and plan the arrangement for housing and transportation...But WE NEED YOUR HELP! On January 21st, February 18th, March 18th, and April 15th from 7:15 to 8:45, we would like to congragate all Middle Schoolers under one roof for encouragement and revitalization. This is a great opportunity to open your home to your brothers and sisters. If you are able to open your doors on one of these dates, that is wonderful and please let me know as soon as possible. If you are not able to open your home, that is okay, we could use you, too! The requirement for any youth event is one adult for every eight kids. This means if there are thirty-two kids, we need at least four adults... six for security. Also, we will need to provide food. If the host and hostess could provide the drinks and serveware, the other couples could be responsible for picking up pizza, hotwings, subs, chips, etc. and then everyone splits the price. Or if your home is not available and you are eligible to drive one of the church buses, you could provide transportation after church from 7:15-7:30 (teens will be picked up at the host and hostess's house). If you are able to open your home, supervise and provide food, or provide transportation, please contact me as soon as possible or by January 10th...or I will be contacting you. If you are not able to sign up for any volunteering, please be praying for our ministry. Thanks for your support, Jessica Parker AA, Ablaze Administrator Home:(615)824-3894 Cell:(615)604-5063 walking4him247@att.net
