Youth
& Children Welcome to Jane Wasem and her family!!! Jane Wasem is our new Directory of Children, Youth & Family Ministries. Jane's office hours are Wednesdays from 9:30 am - 1:30 pm. JPC
Families! We’ve
got several great
things going on and coming up for Children,
Youth, and Families at JPC! Summer
VBS program planning is in the works and will be
right around the corner, so be
looking for more info to come! Please reach out
to Jane for any more
information, or if you would be willing to
volunteer with these programs in the
life of the church. Worship & Prayer
Buddies: We have been offering
a
youth program on worship after the children’s
sermon on Sunday mornings. It
will go until Palm Sunday, April 2nd,
and as part of the goal of the
program, the kids and youth will be
transitioning back to staying in worship
after the children’s sermon on Palm Sunday.
Going along with this, we are
planning to have a Worship & Prayer
Buddy program that will pair an
adult with each kid or youth (Elementary &
Middle School) who would like to
be a part of this starting the Sunday before
Palm Sunday – March 26th.
They will have the opportunity to sit together
in worship occasionally, join
for other times that JPC kids & youth meet,
and commit to be in prayer for
them each week. Adults who are willing and
interested, please sign up with Jane
by March 19th. You can email her at janewasem@gmail.com. If you have any
questions, don’t hesitate to ask
Jane! Lenten
Meditation/Prayer
Series: Children & Youth
will not
meet on March 12 & March 19 (over Spring
Break), but will meet the last 2
Sundays (March 26 & April 2) from 5:30-6 PM.
This has been a great opportunity
for children, youth, and families to participate
in an intergenerational Lenten
prayer time that includes music, readings, and
silent prayer. Children &
youth join the adults for the beginning and
ending parts and go with Jane to
the youth room for the middle portion. We will
plan to have a soup & bread
dinner together after the last session (April 2nd)
to close the series
as we look forward to Easter! Dates to Look
