Good Sex, Shorelines Sexual Purity class begins April 22nd
Remember the days when the youth ministry “Sex Talk” was simple and straightforward? Well, maybe it wasn’t that simple or straightforward, but today more than ever, the world our students are growing up in is saturated in sex. Everywhere they look (or listen) they can hear all kinds of messages about sexuality, and most of it is probably not helping them develop a healthy understanding of how their own sexuality fits into God’s plan for their lives.
The need for ongoing dialogue and learning about sexuality and how it connects with faith has never been greater. Trying to help students understand how their sexuality relates to God’s plan for their lives is a great challenge in a day when just about anything goes. Today, teenage sexuality includes things that might make some of us blush, like: • Hooking up • Oral sex (as a “safe” alternative to vaginal intercourse) • Friends-with-benefits • A greater social acceptability of gay and lesbian relationships and experimentation
In Good Sex : A Whole-Person Approach to Teenage Sexuality and God, we will provide tools to help students and their parents in understanding, enjoying, and taking responsibility for their sexuality—all without lecturing, intimidating, or moralizing.
This new and improved sexual purity class offer answer to our students, all of which are biblically based and include the latest in social science and sexual research among adolescents. When students combine this class together with the encouragement of their church family they will be able to face the tough sexual questions of today with real answers. We hope to have open honest dialogue, and help your teens see how their sexuality fits into God’s plan for their lives.
Please contact Pastor Andrew for information on how your students can get involved.
