Clean fun is still available!

On March 9th our youth group here at Capstone Community Church will enjoy an afternoon of pure, clean, wholesome fun! This may sound strange at first thought, but reality tells us that we live in a society that acts differently. The lives our youth live today are so much harder than the generations that went before it. I know what most of you are thinking; when I was younger I had to deal with drugs, alcohol, and purity issues as well. What makes what they go through any different?

What I am talking about with teens today is much deeper. Kids today face belonging issues like never before. Its funny, you ask most kids to talk about the pressures of drug use and alcohol use, and they say it’s no big deal to turn it away. You talk to them about what they are willing to do to fit into a certain group, and the tone of the conversation changes. The average youth today in high school still has morals; it’s just easier to manipulate that moral because of peer pressure.

Parents need to understand that all youth face pressure from some angle. It might be the relationship that they are in or the friend that wants them to go out with them every weekend. It may be as simple as what they are willing to do to put someone else down to build there own reputation up. We all need to take a real interest in our children’s lives because they are going through trials that they may think they can’t talk to you about. This one is for the parents to think about, did you guys grow up in a day and age when school shootings were almost daily because of fitting in was so hard?

So let’s get back to the original issue of why I wanted to write this blog. Fun can be had by today’s youth. This is what the ministry team and I are working to create for C-Group. C-Group has an event coming up called Sunday Fun Day! If your child wants to have some fun with kids who love Christ come be a part of it. Contact Erin, Benjamin, Reena, Scott, or myself for details. O yeah C-Group is just the name of out youth group here at Capstone Community Church!
