Please help support the “Passage” and “Access” Junior and Senior High Ministries monthly sandwich mission project. Each month our youth make sandwich platters to feed 110 needy and homeless people in our local area via The Center in Asbury Park, NJ (http://www.thecenterinap.com/) and PassionWorks, Inc. in Brick, NJ (www.passionworksusa.org). Each sandwich platter costs approximately $4.00 to make! Interested in helping??? Please make all checks payable to “First Presbyterian Church of Manasquan” and give them to Chuck Gianakos, Minister To Youth directly for record keeping.

Statement Of Faith - Second Draft – Due March 15th, 2009 @ 4pm
(At the start of the annual Polity & Pizza event)
The 2nd draft of each confirmand’s Statement Of Faith is due on the afternoon of the annual Polity & Pizza event at 4pm on Sunday, March 15th. This draft should include the student’s beliefs of what they’ve learned since the start of class in September 2008. The 2nd draft must be a continuation of the 1st draft. The student must ”add on to” the 1st draft…do not start a whole new statement please!
Don’t forget, your second draft can include THE CATECHISM (Questions 1-6), THE CHRISTMAS STORY, THE 24/7 EXPERIENCE VIDEO (day 2 – The Simple Way movement with Shane Clairborne), JESUS WITH DIRTY FEET BOOK (chapters 7 – 9), WHY DID GOD SEND JESUS?, any of Pastor Chuck’s talks from Monday night Passage, and ANYTHING COVERED IN THE WEEKLY SUNDAY MORNING, WEEKLY MONDAY EVENING & MONTHLY EVENING CLASSES. You can also use past homework, worksheets, handouts, personal & family experiences, interviews, songs we’ve learned, words we’ve written down, everything in your scrapbook, etc. At this time, you will have completed three paragraphs (around 300 – 400 words). Yes…your parents can help you and join in on this project. Remember, this is your second draft…it does not have to be perfect. You are still building on your faith statement. Remember to approach this 2nd statement in the following manner. Look at all the topics we’ve covered since September 2008, then ask yourself the following questions:
- From what you learned…What do you believe about God? (Tell us about the big picture of your views)
- From what you learned…What do you understand about God? (Even if you don’t believe it…what do you THINK God intends for us)
- From what you learned…What pulls us away from a relationship with God? (What do we do or not do that makes us broken)
- From what you learned…Who is Jesus and why did he come or why was he sent?
- From what you learned…Why do we need to have a relationship with Jesus?
Use these questions as a basis for what you want to say…and write about what you’ve learned so far…you will then have your second draft!
Your final actual/polished Statement Of Faith will be due on Monday evening, May 18th at 6:00pm. This final statement will be a culmination of all your studies. It will be approximately 5 paragraphs long (approximately 500 – 600 words – about one paragraph per question above). This is where you will take everything you learned since September 2008 and put your feelings and beliefs about these topics into one solid belief package! We will be talking about this in class in upcoming months.
