Parent Survey
Back to Youth Group Night
Packet
Dear
Parents,
The school year is in full swing!
Back to school nights are
complete, homework
and test are coming in at full blast, and fall
sports &
activities are almost
half over!
This has been a marathon
fall for many of you!
I am exhausted just
thinking about all
you have on your plate right now!
I marvel at the energy
you have to keep your
life and the life of your children and family
together!
In the beginning of the
Methodist
Church, John Wesley would
travel
around to churches,
meet with the pastors and ask “How is it with
your
soul?
John Wesley knew that in order to have a
healthy church, he needed
to be sure the
pastors were healthy.
In order to have a spiritually strong
church, you need to
have a spiritual strong pastor.
The same is true for families.
As parents, you lead the spiritual
strength of your
children.
Believe it or not, it is proven that
Parents are still
the #1 influence in a
teen’s life.
You have more influence than the church,
the youth ministry,
even their friends!
And so, I ask you today… “How is it with
your soul?”
Are you
growing in your
relationship with God? Are you struggling with
your faith
and relationship with
God? Are you spending time in prayer?
Are you
currently studying the
Bible?
Do you have a strong Christian friend in
your
life?
What do you need to continue to grow and
learn in God?
How can
you have your needs
met?

I pray for you, by name, on a
weekly basis.
If there is anything
you need or a
specific prayer request you
have, please don’t
hesitate to contact me!
Holding you in Prayer,
Denise
