SCHEDULE FOR PITTSBURGH
How to Effectively Minister to Middle School Girls
(Seminar Series #1)
Oct 31 4:00 PM-5:30 PM
Pittsburgh
Female feuds. Braces. Body image. Too much makeup. Too little chest. Confidence. Insecurity. Our girls deal with these issues and more every day! How can we help them process it all without the help of a Seventeen magazine quiz? We’ll look at the major issues that middle school girls face and the practical, loving, and effective ways we can minister to them.
How to Effectively Minister to Middle School Parents
(Seminar Series #2)
Nov 1 8:00 AM-9:30 AM
Pittsburgh
Newsflash: Middle schoolers come equipped with parents! This truth can add challenge and even heartache to ministry, but when parents are respected and ministered to, they can be your greatest partners! Join in on an honest dialogue of how to inform, involve, & inspire the parents of your middle schoolers.
Middle School Ministry From the Ground Up (without Getting Ground Up)
(Seminar Series #3 - Super Seminars)
Nov 1 2:00 PM-4:30 PM
Pittsburgh
We’re going to attempt to talk about it all! We’ll discuss the big issues, such as the potential (and craziness) of middle schoolers, young teen development, and the social and spiritual landscape of middle school students. We’ll also tackle the nitty-gritty of middle school small groups, teaching, programming, compassion, and community for these high-energy, often-underestimated, not-yet-high-schoolers. And through it all, we’ll share our best practices and biggest screwups as we’ve worked with middle school students. If you’re excited about figuring out middle schoolers, or if you’re still trying to figure out how to do it without losing your mind, then this session could be for you!
