Happy Thanksgiving (week)!!! Youth group & Sunday School will be on break until Dec. 3 (youth group) and Dec. 5 (Sunday School).

We are praying for you all this break to be able to have intentional spiritual conversations with your teenager(s). We are praying for each family to experience Christ in an undeniably real way and that, like Jacob (in Genesis), would be transformed as a result of your very real encounter with God. 

If you would like to do the parent/teen activity this week, they are always available here: https://docs.google.com/document/d/18T3a6u-o1weKhr2scnkOj-VAYgzHs572GDKdEL6suOw/edit?usp=sharing

Tomorrow (FRIDAY, 11/12), we will not have youth group at DCBC. Our mission statement is: “DCBCyouth exists to partner with parents to help teenagers follow Jesus and grow up in His family.” This Friday’s parent-teen activity is designed to give parents the opportunity to engage in spiritual conversations with your teenager(s) while doing something together. This google document will have all the details: https://docs.google.com/document/d/18T3a6u-o1weKhr2scnkOj-VAYgzHs572GDKdEL6suOw/edit?usp=sharing

This will take the place of our annual winter retreat (we will not have winter retreat this year). Friday is for our teens. Saturday is for families. Kids can come without parents, but our desire is that parents will engage with their teen. 
Please watch this video for further clarification: https://youtu.be/8xkWiRP-nBA

We are praying for the Holy Spirit:

1. to soften your heart towards your teenager(s)
2. to give you open ears to hear what they are saying, even if they may not be using the right words to communicate their thought(s).
3. to give you a soft tongue as you engage them
4. to knit your hearts as parents and teens close together as you all focus your hearts and minds on Jesus.
