May 20, 2020 Passion Student Ministry Vlog Update
VLOG Update for May 20, 2020 from Chris Temple
Look for a daily 5 minute devotional/check-in on my youtube channel. This will be a link that I will text out as well as email out to students and parents. Also, it will be found on the Facebook PSM page.
What can you do as a PSM parent? Take the incentive that these daily videos and the Sunday message video will be available. Let it create questions and discussions. This is a time of anxiousness, isolation and concern (and not just for parents). We are in the thick of realization that all will be effected. In some way or another.
What can you do as a student? Keep tuned into the devotional and message videos. Also, keep checking in with your small group. Take the time (cuz ya' know ya' got some!) to say "hello" or "what's up?" Also, keep talking. If you are transparent about the current days and often hours that seem offsetting to the norm, it really does help. Everyone (including parents) will be going through it. I promise you will not be the only one feeling this way.
Know that this ministry will not stop. PSM's plan is to keep active the best possible way we can with what we have until we can do more. As the Director of Student Ministries, it is a priority to care for and keep together our youth in this time of crisis. I have great optimism that we will get through this season. God is with us!
Remember, the Church is looking at a week to week basis as far as what we can do. Let's pray that each week will be more encouraging than the last. If you have any questions or concerns, please get in touch with me.
Please be smart, be safe and be of God.
In Faith,
Chris

Passion Student Ministry Update for Online Resources
Check out our resources for our PSM and Passage students while we’re worshipping online this week!
Dear Parents and Students,
As you are aware, worship services will not be held this Sunday due to the Corona Virus precaution. The Church plan is to have as little as possible on the campus, therefore complying with social distance specifications and recommendations. There will be a Church on-line service that may be viewed and worshiped with. All activities and events for the next two weeks have been postponed or cancelled. With this in mind, the Church is taking things one week at a time for rescheduling or further action.
So what are we to do with Passion Student Ministry?
Like the Church, we will be resilient in any way that we can.
First off,
On March 17 start looking for a daily 5 minute devotional/check-in on my youtube channel. This will be a link that I will text out as well as email out to students and parents. Also, it will be found on the Facebook PSM page.
On Sunday, expect a video message for our youth. This will also be sent and broadcasted the same way. It will be ready on Sunday morning.
If you are involved with Passion Parents Connect Group, this may help you as well for a parental cue for discussion.
As far as Passage is concerned, we will cancel this Sunday's class. We will also postpone our last Gathering on March 28th.
Considering the week to week approach we are taking, we may consider doing a video class for the following week to be sent out via Youtube channel as well. I would like them to be on schedule with the remaining lessons. We will let you know by the end of the week. We will definitely reschedule our final Gathering if all goes well.

This is a time of anxiousness, isolation and concern (and not just for parents). We are in the thick of realization that all will be effected. In some way or another.
