All of these teams are being lead by a Point Person and they are tasked with recruiting parents and other adults in our church to serve on their team. This new approach is intended to help us to more faithfully and intentional- ly carry out our purpose statement: “The Ferry Farm Student Ministry exists to create a safe place where students grow in faith, connect in relationships and learn to serve others.” Would you pray about where you might be able to serve, just in case you get an invite from our team leaders?
