1) Sunday Nights

We plan to have our youth gatherings each Sunday night, from 6-8pm in the Office Space at Fondren. 6-7pm, will be a time of games, music, and bible study. From 7-8pm, we plan to eat together at a nearby restaurant! Of course, if students want to hangout a little before bible study starts, we can have some time before 6pm to do that!

2) Small Groups

It is our prayer that, as Bellwether's youth ministry grows, we will be able to form small groups for students. These groups would be led by parents or adult volunteers.

3) Weekly Ministry

It would be great to see Bellwether's students involved in a weekly ministry serving our church in some way: praying for our church, serving on the Sunday morning worship team: media, set-up, family, offering time, etc.

4) Missions

We hope to involved students in local missions on a weekly or monthly basis as well as globally once a year.

4) Retreats

Breakthru Retreat: Bellwether Youth ministry plans to involve students in the yearly Breakthru retreat. This is a local retreat held at Timber Creek Camp in Pulaski, MS (45 minutes from Jackson,MS) for four days. They have four sessions each year. We would chose which of the four sessions is the best fit for Bellwether students. The sessions take place in December, January, and February. Here is their website: http://timbercreekcamp.com/

Summer Retreat: We also hope to have a summer retreat where students can have fun and go deeper in their relationships with Jesus and others.

Other Retreats: We are open to see if God has other type of retreats for our students. Some may be grade related retreats, rite of passage related retreats, etc.

5) Socials

We would love to have parent socials every so often to plan, dream, and pray for our students and the youth ministry. We would also hope to have times each year to have socials for the students.
