Copy of Parent Letter

Dear Parent,

I am excited to be writing you this letter. UTURN and ROCK SOLID Ministries are moving in a great direction and we want you to join us. September 3 we will be having our very first Family Gathering. This gathering will serve two purposes. First it gives our families one night a month to gather together and worship God through song and sharing. The second purpose it to keep parents better informed about both calendar events as well as what God is doing in our ministry.
Let me share also with you three words that you will hear often over the next few years. These three words are SUPPORT, SUPPLY, and SUPPLEMENT. These will be the foundation of a dramatic paradigm shift in our ministry. Instead of what has been traditionally a drop of spot for spiritual growth(youth ministry), we believe God has entrusted this role to parents. In light of Deuteronomy 6:4-9, we want to Support the family in this endeavor. We are hear to encourage you to enjoy this stage of raising your kids in the Lord. We also understand that this is a partnership between the Church and the Family. Understanding this, we will be Supplying you with the tools necessary to encourage spiritual growth in the home. This will be discussed at the gathering in depth. Finally, we also will be partnering by Supplementing what is going on in the home through teaching the Word on Sundays and encouraging your students through small group ministry. Please attend this Wednesday to hear more about this strategy.
This will not affect our weekly ministries or our regular programs. It is simply a shift in strategy in how we intentionally plan to help you in the discipleship of you students. We believe in the Family and we believe in the Church. I believe if we work together we can turn a generation’s focus back to Christ. Please join us as we do this.
Wednesday night, September 3, we will open the doors to the Worship Center. We’ll kick things off around 7:50. Please make this a priority as we will do this every first Wednesday of the month. Come join us as we worship God as families and commit our families to His service.
If you have any questions there are a few things you can do. First you can call. I can be reached at work, 559-686-0004, or on my cell, 559-972-0118.
