YOUTH & FAMILIES
LET THE CHILDREN COME

Jesus said: "'Let the little children come to me, and do not stop them; for it is to such as these that the kingdom of heaven belongs.' And he laid his hands on them and went on his way."

Matthew 19: 13-15

The Children and Youth Ministry at Christ Lutheran Church is committed to following the example set by Jesus in this passage. Like Jesus, we believe that children are special and we affirm their importance to God, the church and the world.

Our theme, "Let the Children Come" means, that as a ministry, we are committed to serving our youth in the following ways:

• Welcoming Children and Youth, just as they are!
• Teaching youth the values of Christian living.
• Integrating youth participation in all aspects of the church.
• Providing programs that meet the needs of all youth.
• Empowering youth for active involvement in community and world events.

These programs include:

• Jr. & Sr. Luther League
• High school Shepherds
• Choirs for children and youth
• 2-year intentional confirmation program for 7th & 8th grade
• Intergenerational multi learning style Sunday school
• Sunday evening fellowship time

Christ’s Children will have many chances to “deepen their faith” this year.
