This Week - The Details

 

Sunday, Mar 5

 
What (Grades 6-7):  11a-12p in Room 204 (over the COTS Café). Week 2 of Echo. (Now is a great time to jump in!) With division seemingly all over the place, what if helping people know unity - not sameness! - can help them experience God's love?  
   What (Grade 8):  9:30a-12p Bringing worship home. Meet in the Great Hall and pick up in the Jr Youth Room. Explore Parents: We are gathering this week for conversation! 11a-12p in Room 161 (the meeting room by the Great Hall).
 
   What (Grades 9-12):  11a-12p in Sr Youth Room 207 (over the parlor). Week 2 of Before I Go. (Now is a great time to jump in!) Wouldn't it be SO nice if the whole "us vs them" thing was history? What if that begins with US? 

   When:  Sunday, Mar 5, times as indicated    Why:   So we can grow in our faith to act on our faith.    How:   Complete the COTS Kids & Youth Registration & Med Info form for this school year.

Summer Camp & VBS


 
The Youth Mission Trip is a home run. So is camp! It's not just for younger kids. Participate as a camper for a week, or if you're 17+, work as a counselor for the summer. Both are a GREAT experience. Check out the MANY options at our three camps HERE.

Info on the availability of Camperships will be out in a couple weeks. Check back for details.

(As an FYI, many COTS Kids and Youth are planning to attend Camp Wanake the week of June 25-30.)

Lastly (but not least!), VBS will be the week of June 19-23!

Parent Resources


FYI has been an important guide to our youth ministry at COTS. This particular article is directed at parents and youth leaders when talking with teens, but...
we parents and youth leaders need to hear it just as much.

(It starts with "4 Answers", but "4 Responses" would probably set a better tone.)
4 Answers to Offer Teens When God Feels Far Away.
