Parent Meeting Recap

Hey parents, it was great to have us all together two Thursdays ago to talk about Lighthouse, upcoming events, a little about us and our philosophy, and even talk honestly about parenting. I know that it is not easy.
During the meeting we read an article that I found. I thought that the title of "Spiritual Maturity: A Note Parenting" would be a great read for us, but I found that I disagreed with a lot of the article and thought it was a little harsh. But you were gracious with me, and we had a wonderful conversation about it. If you are interested in reading more the article is actually a four-parter:

Part 2 http://www.youthministry.com/articles/families/spiritual-maturity-note-parents%E2%80%94part-2
Part 3 http://www.youthministry.com/articles/families/spiritual-maturity-note-parents-1
Part 4 http://www.youthministry.com/articles/families/spiritual-maturity-note-parents-2

While I may not completely agree with everything written in these articles, I do believe in having a conversation regarding this topic. As I said during our meeting, we are here to serve you! Support you as the primary discipler of your teen! I am available if you would ever like to set up a time to talk about this.

This is the first week for our new Thursday devotional The Way I'm Wired, we are doing the first one "Genesis". Feel free to do this devotion with your teen, could be a great discussion starter! Remind them to bring the devo, Bible and a pen on Thursdays.

Fall Retreat now costs $125 and there is room for your child and any friends they would like to invite! This is our "beginning-of-the-year-everyone-goes" trip! Let me know if I can help to get your teen there!
