Junior Youth Ministry 2009-2010

[Pete Olsen]

ok…so here’s the skinny … the details … the plan … what’s happenin’… in

Junior High (Grades 7-8)

Sunday Mornings – Worship and Learning 9:00-10:15 am.

These mornings are focused on COMMUNION.
There will be a predominantly youth led worship time in the Gym together from 9-9:30 followed by a Bible focused lesson in the Portable. The lessons on Sunday morning will follow the themes being taught in the Sanctuary in order to keep the whole church family focused on the same theme. We hope this will facilitate common ground for discussion at home and will include our youth in the larger WMB community. We have a team of teachers/leaders for this ministry and would welcome anyone who is interested in joining this team.


Junior High Drop-In - Every Thursday from 7:00-8:30pm

Drop In will focus on COMMUNITY, COMMUNION and MISSION. These evenings will be open to all youth in grades 7 and 8 from our church family and the community. Drop In nights will include some fun and fellowship time, games, food, and a time of teaching. The teaching will have a focus on who Jesus is and how we can live faithful lives together. Once a month we will have an evening serving others as a group. These service times will include preparing Meals for Encouragement, serving in the neighbourhood, and other opportunities as they arise. We have a team of leaders for this ministry but once again would welcome anyone who is interested in joining this Junior High ministry team.

Junior High Small Group Ministry

Groups of youth meet in member’s homes weekly during the school year, focusing on COMMUNION and COMMUNITY. These groups are led by adults and meet weekly on any given night. Each group is unique, but shares a focus on Word, Worship, Prayer, and Fellowship—the structure of the early church. Small group time consists of teaching from God’s Word, discussions of life through the filter of faith, prayer, and fun times

Each year there is a need to develop some new groups and leaders as we grow. This year, we will be spending more time with the small group leaders discussing small group methods, possible resources and focuses, and communication expectations for small group leaders in the WMB Youth Ministry. Looking for an opportunity to build into young lives? Contact Pete Olsen or Stephanie White in the church office.

Other considerations:
There are some Sunday mornings where youth will be invited to join in the Sanctuary for the larger services. Some Sundays the youth may also be invited to the Forum in the Chapel as well. We are hoping, as well, to develop the portable space into something more inviting and to give this ministry a name. Mid week programs will not run when school is out for holidays.
