Parent Text

Hey parents,
We are launching a new series for Wednesday Night’s for our students- MADE.

We will be talking about the topic of sex.
When it comes to speaking on a topic like sex, students are already getting
multiple messages about it.
We will not go out of your way to be controversial, use shocking language, or offend students,
but we also don’t need to shy away from or act awkward about the topic.


Students are already hearing about sex, places like . . .
• Teachers
• Music/Movies

• The Internet
• Older siblings

• Parents
• School
• Friends

And it is our heart to discuss sex the way God has created it to be
and how students can leave with a deeper understanding of God’s design for sex.
Feel free to sit in on any of our discussion along the way and please do not hesitate
to reach out to me in any questions, comments, or concerns.

Blessings!

Chris
