FPCD Youth Ministries

:: Sunday morning, April 13 ::

:: 8:30am - 11:30am ::

We have volunteered to help serve breakfast at Manna Soup kitchen– all I’m looking for is a crew of 5-6 people to volunteer!

Come and be part of this amazing service opportunity. This is an great way to make an impact on our community. Please join us!

If you plan to come:

• Leave a blog comment, or
• Email russell@fpcdurango.org, or
• Call/txt 799-8634.

Your youth director Russell will be attending the following weeks:

• Adventure 1 (7th/8th grade) :: June 8-14 :: Role - Counselor
• Senior High 2 (9th-12th grade) :: July 20-26 :: Role - Speaker

Having the majority of campers from 1st Pres. sign up for these weeks will make planning events for the rest of the summer so much easier!

Reminder: Register with Sonlight, not with 1st Pres. Visit their website, or email winston(at)sonlightcamp.org with questions!

From a great site, ASBO Jesus. Apparently that’s British for ‘Anti Social Behavior Order.’ Check out the rest of the cartoons!

Wow, the chilly fall breezes and the smattering of yellows and reds in 3rd Avenue’s trees tell me that summer’s definitely over. We’ve got just a few weeks of relative calmness before we head into the holiday season.

This is a great season for me to spend some time examining my effectiveness, and the effectiveness of the youth ministry in general.

I really, really, covet your feedback to help me in this process. At the links below, you’ll find a couple different surveys. Please fill them out as thoroughly and honestly as possible. Don’t worry: constructive criticism won’t hurt my feelings! And no matter who you are or how involved you are, I encourage you to offer your feedback!

You may choose whether to be anonymous or not. Obviously, if you get back to me electronically, I’ll know where it came from, but you may also print out your response and drop it by the office. An reason to put your name on the survey would be if you’d like to dialog further about your responses.

Please return completed surveys as soon as you can. Email. Snail mail. In person. Whatever is most convenient!

I’d like to remind you all that the youth ministry of 1st. Presbyterian Church of Durango exists to serve YOU and YOUR FAMILY in furthering the message of Jesus Christ. Please take advantage of this opportunity to shape the way we serve you!

Don’t say I didn’t give you enough time to mark your calendars Here are the dates:
