Welcome!
Summer 2013 was as busy as expected for all of us, but it was a great one! Your youth groups have survived camp, Youth Quest, and Mission Trips and God did phenomenal things in countless lives. However, school is shifting back into gear and the weekly grind is about to begin again for everyone involved in student ministry. The good news?!...The Clique is back with some awesome things in store for you!
We’re excited to announce a new series that The Clique will be featuring over the next several issues. During General conference, Presiding Bishop Dr. A. D. Beacham, Jr. unfolded the vision for the IPHC and the Core Values of our church. Over the next few months, our toolbox section will be highlighting resources connected to each one of the 7 Core Values. This month, we will take a closer look at #1: Scripture.
Last but not least, as our feature of the month section we would like to invite you to join an ongoing conversation in the church today: Why are Millennial’s leaving the church? We’d love to hear what you think!
