Students

IMPORTANT NOTE FROM THAYER

for all parents and students.

As our student ministry attempts to navigate this complicated social and political landscape we are going to be making changes to our student ministry. We are still very committed to creating genuine community, even in a current reality that makes that difficult in person.

To do this, we will be utilizing several community tools.

The first is an app called GroupMe. This is accessible online as well as on a smartphone. Students can be added into our Virtual Youth Group that also includes our student leaders. Conversation is monitored and positive community is encouraged. To join, please email me at wallacet@rivertreechristian.com. All you need is either a phone number or email and you can be added into the group.

The second thing that we will be utilizing is the Bible app, by Youversion. There are several community-building tools that have always been included in the app that we will now be leaning into more. We will be doing a Bible reading plan together, sharing prayer requests as a group and are able to discuss the things that we are studying. For more information about how to join with us, again, shoot me an email at the above address.

Finally, throughout this time, I will be releasing devotional thoughts on a variety of platforms, including our middle school instagram, middle school facebook, and high school facebook page and also right here on our website.

Also, please know that I am still and will continue to be available for any pastoral needs with students. If that needs to be a phone call, video call, or even a 1-on-1 meeting, please don’t hesitate to ask.

Thank you for being understanding in this difficult time. Our desire is to partner with you to continue to deliver Christian community to your students, while also being sensitive to the needs of our community.

Thank you,

Thayer
