Student Ministry- Quarantine Edition

Hey Parents!

As you may know, we have been meeting online with students through Zoom meetings. I want to give you a brief introduction into setting up an account for your student.

This is where we are doing our Digital Hangouts (EVERY weekday @12:45 pm) and boot ONLINE (Sundays @5:30 PM) with students. These meetings are password protected and as the host, I will have full access to mute students’ video or audio, allow students to join the group, and the group will end when I exit the meeting. It is a safe way for our group to meet and allows us to continue to build our community.

To Join:
• Go to bcsm513.com and click on the appropriate link (either Digital Hangout or Boot).
• A tab will open up and a download will start for the Zoom program.
• Once downloaded, a screen will pop up to prompt you to put in a password. If you do not have the password yet, message me and I will get it to you.
• After that, a screen will pop up to prompt you to allow video and audio. Click “allow.”
• This will lead you to the meeting and place you in the Waiting Room until the host admits you into the video meeting.

***If none of that works, let me know (eric@bridgetownchurch.com). We are learning this stuff together and we want everyone that wants to be involved to be involved. ***

Note:
• All downloads are free, and you do not need to make an account if you do not want to. All you need is the link for the meeting.
• Please make sure you are able to use the audio on your device.
• You may need to manually give the app permission in your phone settings.

Today I want to talk to you about being a rebel. You might not think of yourself as a rebel but you might be more of one than you think! To be a great parent today, you need to be courageous enough to visit your past. How did your parents raise you during the teenage years? What was your experience like? What did your parents teach you? What values did they pass down to you? It is so important to think back on that time even if it is painful for you. Because the pain can have a purpose. It can show you where you need to rebel. Your parents were not perfect, just like you are not a perfect parent. So there has to be some areas where you could give your teenager a better experience than you got. That is something you would Rebel against from your past. A great exercise for you to after you read this is to grab a piece of paper and make a list of the different ways you want to rebel from the way you were raised. In this case, rebellion is a very good thing. It can be one of the greatest g...

The Power of Symbols Part 1

I want to talk to you today about symbols. A symbol is an object that has meaning attached to it, but it is also a great tool in the parent’s tool belt. Here are some examples of important symbols you may have in your life that carry important meaning: a wedding ring refrigerator art from when your teenager was a child a family heirloom that was passed down to you a moment in time that was captured in a photograph an item from your childhood home that takes you back in time when you look at it Symbols are powerful. Today I would like to suggest that you harness the power of symbols to help pass down faith to your teenager. I will never forget when I visited Washington D.C. when I was in college. We walked from monument to monument trying to understand something about the importance of America’s history. Washington D.C. is filled with symbols. Each monument, each museum, and each statue tells the story of our nation. The power of symbols is evident today. Look how...
