SJCCC Watermark Parents

Dear Parents of High School "Watermark" Students,
Peace to you and your family!

As you have high school children at SJCCC, we welcome your kids to our excellent Watermark program on Saturday nights (7:30-10pm Lower Church). Both of our kids are going through the program, and our family has been benefited immensely. The Bible study, praising, fun games, and friendship will impact our children for the life time. It is critical for us to take our kids away from computers, video games, and study for this weekly gathering.

As for you (and me), the Watermark Parents, we are also getting support from the SJCCC Community. Fr. Olivera and several past Watermark parents have volunteered to support this program to address our needs/concerns and make the program a sustainable ministry. Here are the highlights:

• Consistency: We will be meeting every Saturday that Watermark High School meets, at the same time as Watermark, in the classroom #2
  
• Common Bible Sharing: We will study the same scripture as the Watermark (so family can continue sharing)
• Monthly topics: invite guest speakers and facilitated discussions on topics of importance to parents of teenagers
  
• Watermark Support : provide support for our kids, such as snacks for our kids in Watermark
• Child Care: If there is a need, we plan to provide child care for younger siblings (if parents can rotate)
  

Watermark is important for your children, and Watermark Parents is YOUR support group! Come join us this Saturday.千萬別錯過這個難得的機會!

May God bless you and your family always,
+Tony & Wendar
