NEWSLETTER!!!!
TONIGHT, we will distribute our 2HYM (Highland Heights Youth Ministry) first edition newsletter. This newsletter will keep you up-to-date on all the things happening within our ministry. If you are a parent, you should have received a copy via e-mail. If you are a parent that did not receive a copy via e-mail, please contact Wilber at mwilber@highlandheights.net . If you are a teen, you will have the opportunity to receive a copy tonight in class. This newsletter will normally be a four page newsletter that will come out on a two month basis. The first four page newsletter will be handed out at our Parent Meeting on March 7. If you have any suggestions, questions, or comments, please contact Wilber.
Also, the newsletter will be posted on our website under the youth page by the end of the week.

Got something to say?
What’s the possibility of having a section in the newsletter that would have a “Teen Job Bank”? Possibly divided into two sections Help Wanted and Jobs Wanted. This might be a valuable resource for many to get their needs met while helping out a brother or sister. This could be a tool to coordinate our brothers and sisters in Christ to meet each others needs where everybody could win. Babysitting / Yard Work / Household Chores, etc….
As a single mom of two daughters, there have more times than I can count where I found myself asking God, WHY couldn’t you have given me a boy to help with the leaves, carry wood, cut brush, clean gutters, man the weedeater, etc….
It’s possible that an elderly brother or sister might really be able to benefit from the strength & energy capable of our teens, for many household chores & yardwork….
A 35-40’s married couple still having children 12 and under to care for might really appreciate being able to have a date night….
AND just think of the benefit it might give parents who are realizing that pulling out the ole wallet for every little thing isn’t helping ANYONE. There have been many times when I thought….if there was a way for little Janie to earn the money to replace that 3rd sweater she ruined, or Johnny for the 2nd window he busted rough housing… then they might actually learn something.
If the idea works, it could give birth to a “Rewards for Righteousness” type program where teens volunteer their time/skills to earn the non-profit community service recommendation letters so valuable for college program acceptance & scholarships.
Anyway, maybe its just another hairbrained idea (of which I have many) but thanks for listening!
