Dear Junior High Parents,
Our summer programming is called “SUMMER
HOOPLA”. It is recreationally based and our primary goal
is to build relationships with junior high youth. We have
been very blessed and have a 92% participation factor
over the summer when most families leave on summer
vacations, family reunions and trips to the cabin. We have
been successful this summer because of our incredible peer
ministry team and adult leaders. Peer minister’s are junior
or seniors in high school who step forward for a leadership
at AYM, and they are very important part of our ministry.
As we approach the transition from summer to fall we
are hopeful to maintain and grow the junior high youth
involvement in AYM. The school year programming is
service and faith based and builds on the relationships we
have developed over the summer. Junior high years can be
difficult and awkward with complex friendships; puberty
and more demanding school work. That is why the need
for an accepting, safe, fun, challenging and faith exploration
environment is so important and appealing to youth.
I would like to acquaint you with our school year
programming and answer any questions you may have
about AYM.
Peace in Christ,
Jimmy Dunn
