Lighthouse Parents!
Summer is halfway over and there is still a lot of exciting
things going on in the lives of students.
My advice: Find some air conditioning and enjoy the time you have before
the craziness of school starts again!
As we said before, I (Ian) am taking over for Paul in this
season of high school ministry. Many
have asked if we’re going to hire someone and my answer is this: we’re not
opposed to hiring someone in the future, but for now, we have really sensed God
leading us to not jump right into that.
I for one am excited about the amazing things God is doing with this
group of students and consider it an honor to be in community with them as we
move forward into His promises!
Here’s what you need to know right now:
First, Lighthouse is moving to Wednesday nights! When we kick off August 21st, our
mid-week gathering will be on Wednesdays instead of Thursdays. The reasoning is twofold; we wanted to align
the nights of our youth programs (Impact, JH) for those families who had kids
in both and also, we felt like Thursdays just plain and simply needed a change! Also, Fudd’s night will be moving to the 2nd
Wednesday of each month.
Second, Lighthouse is officially getting its own space at
Hope Center and we are remodeling the upper room in the admin building. We’re excited to have a space that can
strengthen our community of students. If
you’re interested in helping or supporting this in any way, please let us
know!
Third, we have changed hosts for the Lighthouse Loop Parent
Blog. Please go to
lighthouseloop.wordpress.com and sign up for the updates to be sent to your
email. If you were signed up for the
original Lighthouse Loop Blog, unfortunately you cannot be automatically
added.
We are excited for the opportunities that lay ahead of
us. As was the case with Paul, my door
is always open and I’m always ready to chat.
I consider my relationship with you, the parents, equally as important
as my relationship with the students.
Please don’t hesitate to contact me.
