The Naked Truth Parents Letter

Mike Lovato — Tue, 02 Feb 2010 00:01:23 +0000

Parents – here’s a letter we snail mailed your way!

January 28, 2010

Dear Parents,

We hope you’re having a great week and wanted to keep you up to date on what we’ll be teaching on Wednesday nights the next month. We’ll be starting a series on Wednesday, February 3rd called “The Naked Truth: God’s Thoughts on Sex.” PLEASE encourage your son/daughter to be here for this crucial topic. Here is the breakdown of what we’ll cover:

February 3 – Who invented sex, anyway?

February 10 – What about homosexuality?

February 17 – How far is too far?

February 24 – What if I’ve messed up?

All of these weeks will be great nights for students to bring a friend, but we’ll making a big push for students to bring friends on the 24th when we’ll tackle forgiveness and grace. Our goal for this entire series is to help students see what the Bible says about sex. We’ll do this in an honest, fun, and loving way. As always, if you have any questions about what we’ll be teaching feel free to contact us in the office. We’ll be teaching the same messages in jr. high and high school, but tweaking them to fit the different audiences.

Thank you for entrusting your student with us. It’s a responsibility we don’t take lightly and we have a blast working with them.

Serving with you,

Mike Lovato Ben Wahlman
Minister to Students Student Ministries Associate
