Hey youth pastors!  This year we want to encourage you to bring the parents of your teens.  Unlike recent years we are going to have a special parents-only session where they will be given practical tools that will help them “build a culture in their homes that is stronger than the culture of the world.”  We will be using Ron Luce’s new book, Recreate, which I’ve read and was very inspired by (even though I’m not a parent).  We know that in order to reach this generation, we must all work together.  This is not a battle for just youth pastors, but for parents as well.  Therefore, we want to equip them to effectively reach out to their teenagers. The session will be held Saturday morning for the parents, and Saturday afternoon we will have a session for teens and parents.

If you are a parent, we would like to invite you to come as well, even if your teen is not part of a youth group.  Feel free to find a local youth group who is attending the event and join them, or just come as a family!  I guarantee that you will not regret it!  Not only will you be able to experience what your child is experiencing, but you will also receive valuable training to handle those tough teenage years!  In fact, you will get a chance to meet other parents from your region who are as passionate about raising godly children as you are!
