Parents play such an important role in the spiritual growth of their children. Studies consistently show that amid the loud noise of American pop culture, the influence that even bad parents have on their kids is immeasurable. As a youth pastor, I get to spend a few hours with your children each week. With that time, I try my best to make an eternal impact in their lives. Now, there is a possibility that I may have some impact in that short amount of time with a lot of prayer. On the other hand, you as parents have countless hours with which to make an eternal impact on the lives of your children. You have a unique opportunity to push your children toward God each day by simply being an example of what a godly man or woman looks like. You also have the opportunity to partner with me by engaging your children in spiritual conversations about what they are learning on Wednesday night and in Sunday school.
To that end, I will endeavor to equip you, as parents, to be the primary models in the spiritual development of your children. Each month I will be sending out a Trinity Youth Ministry E-Newsletter entitled: “The Regenerate.” Included in this newsletter will be our monthly calendar, updates on scheduled events and other details that will help you to be informed on what’s going on a weekly basis. Another key feature of this Newsletter will be the inclusion of the weekly topics we have studied on Wednesday nights for the past month with questions for you to use to engage your children in spiritual discussions. I encourage you to take advantage of these opportunities to develop your children into devoted followers of Christ. If you would like to receive this e-Newsletter, please contact me at jwatsontbc@live.com.
Let us work together to “…proclaim him, admonishing and teaching everyone with all wisdom, so that we may present everyone perfect in Christ.” (Colossians 1:28)
