Hey team! I am so excited to tell you this story. [Tell your volunteers about a recent win in your ministry.]

Here are a few things coming up in our ministry . . .

ADD YOUR OWN DATES: PARENT EVENT
This month, we're hosting an event for teenage girls and the dads (or father figures) who love them. We'd love to see you there!

ADD YOUR OWN DATES: END-OF-THE-YEAR PARTY
Let's celebrate the end of an incredible school year with a little fun, food, and friends! Come hang with us. There will be games, presents, and a pretty incredible recap of the year of ministry we've had together.

ORIGIN STORY: A 4-WEEK SERIES ON JUSTICE
WEEK 2 BIG IDEA: HEROES CARE FOR THE PEOPLE IN FRONT OF THEM

SERIES OVERVIEW:

Whether the cause is a radioactive spider bite or a nuclear explosion, every superhero has an origin story — a moment when they begin to discover how they're uniquely equipped to help save the world. You probably don't have the power of flight or the ability to shoot energy beams out of your fists, but in this 4-week series you'll see that you have the potential to help save the world too, when you embrace who God made you to be, care for the people in front of you, rely on your team, and are heroic in ordinary situations.

What do superheroes, virtual reality, cosplay, wizards, video games, and cosplay have in common? They're all nerdy things the teenagers you lead might be into — but that you don't know much about. But don't worry! The folks at Love Thy Nerd have plenty of resources to help you get in the know.

Do you think you'll volunteer with us again next year? If not, we'd love to hear more! Reply to this email and let us know what you're thinking!
