Maple City Parents: Newsletter Vol 7

Hey Maple City Parents,

Pastor Jordan here with your summer edition of the parent newsletter—your quick connection point to what’s happening in Student Ministries, what’s on the horizon, and how we can keep partnering together to help your student follow Jesus this summer.

Before We Dive In: This Month’s Parent Resource

With the summer comes endless options of activities and things to compete with family time. In this month’s parent resource, we want to help you develop a Family Discipleship Guide to intentionally make the most of the time you have this summer and lead your family in consistent and meaningful discipleship conversations. Whether this is your first time leading your family in discipleship or you have been doing it for years, we pray this resource sparks meaningful connections as you grow in your understanding of God’s love and faithfulness toward your family.

Looking Back: Graduation + Mission Mindset

May was packed! We celebrated our graduating seniors with meals, prayer, and some really meaningful moments as we launched them into their next chapter. It was powerful to see how our church wrapped around them with love, wisdom, and support.

We also wrapped up registration for our Junior High Missions Weekend and got a glimpse of how our students are ready to serve and lead. It’s incredible watching their faith come alive when it moves from theory to action!

A Final Word of Encouragement

Summer isn’t just for breaks—it’s for breakthroughs.

These next few months are full of opportunity: spontaneous conversations, slower rhythms, and space to see what God is doing beneath the surface. Stay present. Stay prayerful. Keep creating safe spaces for your teen to talk, question, and grow. Even when it feels like they’re not listening, they’re watching—and what you model matters.

We’re with you. We’re for you. Let’s keep pointing our students to Jesus—together!

Blessings,
Pastor Jordan
