Initiation is our
introductory event for seventh graders coming
into the youth group. It takes place at the end
of the summer just before the new school year
begins. Initiation is a rite of passage that
propels new members into the group through a
series of trust challenges and community
building activities. The event begins at 3:00 pm
on August 30. |

When Jesus called his disciples, they made a
profound leap of faith. They had to trust that
the call they answered would lead them to a
better place. Little did they know the amazing
journey they were about to embark upon. Jesus
called them to be his disciples, and he made
them fishers of men. It was their initiation.
They were now part of a unique group.
Likewise, our
seventh graders are becoming members of
the youth group. They have anticipated this time
for years, but they have little idea of the
journey they are about to embark upon. Life is
often a challenge, as will be the initiation.
But by learning trust, they will become valued
and cherished members of the youth group who
will help them on their journey.
Initiation will be a
series of trust challenges and community
building experiences where new members are made
to be part of the group. |
