Church Ministries
Youth Minister
Wes Brewer

Hi Everyone,
       We are fresh off our Spring Break retreat to Gatlinburg where we were able to get away from
our everyday distractions and focus on God. This retreat was a little different than normal because it’
s usually centered on helping our students grow and re-evaluate their life. This trip was centered on
leadership and what the future of our youth ministry will look like. That future will be a student led
ministry with students welcoming guests, setting up games, giving announcements, making snacks,
and planning our worship. Each group was able to begin brainstorming ideas and presented them to
the entire group on our Saturday night service. If you’re wondering, in order for a student to be
accepted as a leader in one of those categories, they must complete a 7 page application packet that
includes information about themselves and two adult references. Overall I’d say the trip was a
success even if all the adult leaders looked a little strange for dinner on Saturday night! (Check out
Facebook for that.)
       Again, thank each of you for supporting the church’s youth ministry and I ask you to continue
to pray for each of our students.
