Parents,  

In just a few weeks we will be heading off to Breakaway, a separate weekend for both the high school and middle school. These weekends can be a tremendous way for young people to get connected to God and to the community. We have over 400 people set to go with us for the high school weekend and the middle school is filling up fast.

 

At this writing, I believe we may have a few (under 10 spots) left for high school, and we are busy with registrations for the middle school weekend.

 

With the many challenges facing teenagers today, the support and encouragement that these weekends give to them is invaluable. Crossroads and Cornerstone are healthy communities for our young people to grow in good solid relationships that can help them face these challenges. I try to urge parents that the time to get their teenagers connected is now, not when a crisis arises.  

 

The Youth Family of adult volunteers is doing a great job in caring for them on Sunday nights, and it's our hope that these weekends will be a great time to develop their faith.  Please pray for these weekends and if so led to help with some scholarship support.

 

Blessings!

Jim Byrne
