STARKDALE PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH OCTOBER 2012

Dear Starkdale Family,

I am extremely excited to have the opportunity to serve as your Youth Pastor here at Starkdale. We have had a blast

so far here and you have been so kind to us we truly look forward to working with you for years to come. I have a

couple of new girls who will be attending the youth ministry through a contact I made at the Ministerial Meeting at

Starkdale last week and my kids will be inviting some friends from school to our kick-off event so we already have

the wheels turning on the ministry here. I will be starting a teaching series on “Top Questions Teens Ask…” and I

strongly encourage all of the youth, grades 5-12, to invite your friends to the meetings on Sunday evenings from

6:00-7:15. Food will be provided as well as games and solid/relevant Bible teaching. Here are a few exciting up-

coming events that the youth ministry has planned for this fall.

Devotional Booklet.

Advent is a time to give new birth to the soul as we prepare to

celebrate the reality of Christ's presence among us.

Our booklet will be full of personal inspiring reflections, prayers,

quotes, motivational/inspiring articles, testimonials, etc. and will

offer us a daily spiritual retreat from the hustle-bustle of the holiday

season.

Please submit your meditations to Rose Mary in the church office

([email protected]) or directly to Melanie

Carver at [email protected]

no later than October 31st. Advent begins Sunday, December

2nd yet our preparation begins now to ensure booklets are ready

and available to distribute starting Sunday, November 25th.

Thank you thank you thank you!!!

There are a few people in the Starkdale congregation who never

want, ask for, or expect recognition but so deserve it for all their hard

work. Throughout the weeks of renovation with new flooring being

installed, the move of the choir room, the renovation of that room for

Pastor Bobbyjon’s office, cleaning, tidying, drilling, pounding, etc.,

etc., Bob Burns, Dave Daily, Pat Daily, and Wayne Hackathorne

have labored tirelessly and always with a smile on their face! We

heartily thank these members for their work for all of us and ulti-

mately for the Lord. YOU ARE APPRECIATED!!!!

Looking forward:
