In those classes, parents help the children underline at least one verse from each book. At the end of class, the parents present the Bibles to their children. Many students recruit their mentors, often older members in the congregation. They sit together during midweek worship and then talk and pray together, using a curriculum sheet. Attendance at midweek services has more than doubled since the mentor program began.
Members gather each week over a three-year period to share their concerns and to pray.
Senior high youth meet weekly over a three-year period in small breakfast groups with a mentor. Lori Bieging is leading her second high school breakfast group. They are insightful, wonderful kids. Every week we share the highs and lows of the week. We always end in prayer.
