Here are some questions we are getting about the Summer Summit Program at the Deck:
When will the program start?
- Summer Summit will happen every Wednesday from June 22nd until August 31st at the Drop-in Center on Rittenhouse Road. Volunteers need to be there at 6: 30 pm to set up but the program will run each week from 7:00 pm until 8: 30 pm.
What will the youth do each week?
- Every week the program begins at 7pm with an activity that gets people moving and thinking. After a few minutes the group comes together for the first of two teaching components. After ten minutes the youth break up into small groups and talk about the lesson. They will explore a couple of Scriptures and talk about some real life connections to the lesson. Next there is an outdoor game/activity (weather permitting) that relates to the lesson. After outdoor activities the youth come in, have a light snack and hear the second part of the teaching material. They will discuss again in small groups before a time of prayer and then dismissal at approximately 8: 30 pm
Can our youth invite friends?
- We are hoping that everyone invites friends! We would particularly like youth from Vineland who do not have a church family to learn more about the Drop-In Center through this program.
Who is running this program?
- The program is hosted by the Youth For Christ / Youth Unlimited at the Upper Deck in Vineland. The coordinator is Noel Walker, a volunteer at the centre who works full time as a minister for the Tintern Church of Christ. Other ministry staff and volunteers are involved as well.
How can I find out more?
- We will host a parent information night at the drop in centre on Wednesday June 15th at 7pm.
- For more information about the program, or volunteer opportunities contact Noel Walker (noel.walker'at'gmail.com , (905) 563-7303) or check back on this blog.
