MARCH 29, 2020 - CGYOUTH

Hey Fam!

CG Youth Ministry hopes to equip and support YOU the Family to effectively engage and disciple your child at home in the day to day life. YOU will be the most significant influence in your child’s development. We hope to come along side and help you maximize that time by being confident and prepared. Below, you will find some guiding thoughts on what your child has been learning from CG Youth Ministries and how to engage. You will also find resources to contemplate how you can create a discipleship atmosphere in your home and BE the church as a family in your neighborhoods and communities.   

CG YOUTH GATHERINGS:

Things can seem a little crazy outside and maybe even crazier inside in isolation. If you are an introvert, you probably love it. If you are an extrovert, I feel ya. Either way, isolation can be a difficult thing to navigate. Regardless, even in difficult times, there are amazing opportunities.

Let’s talk about it: Discussing Isolation with your Youth

SEASON:

CG Youth have been marching through a season talking about what it means to listen and hear from God. We are transitioning into a season talking about BEING the church and how we fit into God’s story with our gifts and callings.

DO: 

  • Identity Prayer with your kids (If they haven’t already)

  • Purpose Exercise

  • Daily Examen Bookmarks (as a daily practice this week)

Check out this link to a good article: Naming Loss and Gratitude with Young People.

Join the CG Youth Leaders for an online lesson and chat TODAY!

We will be meeting today for our lesson on Zoom! Please check your emails for the details, or email Pastor Sam if you didn’t get them!

**CG Youth is going to be giving a new app a shot for communication and information. Again, ask Pastor Sam if you didn’t get those details!**
