As I am writing this post, our Ignite Student Ministry is busy transforming our Family Life Center into a banquet room for our church's Valentine's Party. The night will have an Italian theme, which means spaghetti, salad, bread sticks and the works. There will be a DJ on site for those brave souls who want to dance or simply sway with the music. Everyone attending will receive a commemorative picture of the evening. Believe me these kids are going all out! At PBCC I am amazed at the caliber of youth people in our student ministry. From my first interaction with the youth ministry at PBCC 5 years ago, I marveled at the way they respected adults, cared for one another and were willing to help out both in the church and in the community. Now before I nominate this group of kids for sainthood, let me also say they are loud, full of energy and at times a little over the top. After all they are teens. Having served in youth ministry for 17 years, I have seen all kinds of teens come through the church. I can speak from experience, this group of kids is great and I think it is a credit to both their parents and our youth workers. It is true what they say, the apple does not fall from the tree. I tip my hat to the adults who realize teens are our Number 1 natural resource, and investing in kids is the best way we can shape the next generation. So Parents and Youth Coaches - Keep it up; your efforts are paying off!
By the Way; Knowing the caliber of the kids in our student ministry I can honestly say I am looking forward to tonight's banquet. PASS THE PARMENSAN CHEESE!
