THE ROCK Love God | Love Others | Make Disciples 3 Things to remember when you fear failure as a parent: (by: Leneita Fix)

1. God is bigger than me." I have to look to Him and His Word as a guide and keep filtering everything that way.

2. I won’t do it all “right.”" I am going to mess up. It’s vital I learn to say I am sorry and admit when I am wrong. I simply can’t be perfect.

3. I need to keep letting my kids try & fail as well." They are going to make some choices I don’t love. Yet, while they are growing we can help them learn how to make those decisions. I think my disappointment can be laid down, when I let them learn. Bottom line, the most helpful thing I need to remember is to stop panicking. Parenting out of an anxious place is rarely helpful. As many books on parenting as there are, no one formula fits all. That goes for kids as well as parents. I have to stop judging others. And I have to stop judging myself.

We ARE the CHURCH. One can often notice the difference between a youth ministry and the greater church body. In fact, many churches do well to so strongly separate the two, that the youth ministry has little to do with the vision of the church as a whole." It wasn’t until early 1970’s that churches began to recognize the need for specialized ministry to teenagers! This developed bigger and bigger and eventually created a rift. After graduation, students had no where to go. The entertainment focus made it appear that we had to work hard to make Jesus “cool.” All of this helped create a consumer mentality within our students focused on games and attracting large crowds. " Here at Trinity, our student ministry (The Rock) is founded on the vision of Trinity to help one another experience AUTHENTIC LIFE-CHANGE throughout the POWER of the GOSPEL. Our name is derived from Matt. 7:24, “Everyone who hears these words of mine and does them will be like a wise man 1

who built his house on the rock.” In this, we want students to understand that in order to experience life-change, we cannot simply meet together for food and games or listen to a teaching or sing songs and then carry on with life as usual. The GOOD NEWS of the Gospel should challenge us to do life differently to work at becoming more and more like Christ." Our students need accountability. They need adults that will love on them and challenge them and extend grace when they fail, but push them to get back up and try again! They need to not only HEAR truth, but to SEE truth lived out in front of them and then be given the reigns and vision to GO and live it out themselves, making DISCIPLES. " Join us in the journey? "

Huge THANK YOU to all host families!" Summer for The Rock was awesome! From kickball, to diving competitions to huge slip & slides to singing at a campfire - good weather, crummy weather, movies in a barn, students teaching the Word… So much great ministry happened thanks to all of youstudents and parents! We are blessed.
