Benefit Concert with James Wells and FriendsSunday, August 26, 3 pm in the SanctuaryFor the first time since his senior voice recital in college (20 years ago), James Wells is giving a concert at Brentwood UMC. You won’t want to miss this because it might be 20 more years before he gets up the courage again. It will be a great afternoon of worship music featuring all of your favorites that you have heard from James over the years. A love offering will be taken to benefit Restore Haiti. A BUMC Haiti Mission team is making its 3rd trip in October 2012.

Recent research suggests that as many as 50% of teenagers walk away from their faith once they graduate from high school. This is not an acceptable statistic! The good news is that the way we do ministry as a church can increase the number of students who stick with their faith when they head to college. Everything we do as a student ministry is designed to help our students develop a faith that sticks with them beyond their time here. See the top of page 2 for more details on ways we are working to help our students grow as disciples of Christ.

How to Help Our Teenagers Have a Faith that Sticks (continued from Page One)For descriptions of our programs see the“Get Connected” insert. Below are ways in which our programs and curriculum seek to move students through a natural progres-sion of discipleship to develop ‘sticky faith’ during their 6 years in our Student Ministry: Sunday Nights• Youth Choirs Provide a large community where the students can use their gifts
and give back to the Church.• Small Groups Provide a smaller community where our students can belong, con-
nect, keep each other accountable, challenge each other to grow in their faith, and be led by two caring adults.
Sunday Morning Sunday School• 7th - 8th Build on the foundations of faith that were taught in Confirmation• 9th Explore the mission of God in the world to prepare them to use their gifts to serve. • 10th - 12th Provide a safe space to discuss tough topics and issues in the Topical
Discussion Class • 10th - 12th Church Now: opportunities to use their gifts NOW in the larger Church • 12th (second semester) – Prepare them to go out into the world!
