CPYU-Parent-Page-September-2014

The Center for Parent/Youth Understanding is a nonprofit organization committed to building strong families by serving to bridge the cultural-generational gap between parents and teenagers.

At a time when an already confusing youth culture is changing quickly, CPYU helps parents, youth workers, educators, and others understand teenagers and their culture so that they will be better equipped to help children and teens navigate the challenging world of adolescence.

Founded in 1989 by Walt Mueller, CPYU has developed an international reputation as a voice providing cutting-edge information, resources and analysis on today’s youth culture.

The mission of CPYU is to work with churches, schools, and community organizations to build stronger relationships between young people and those charged with helping them grow into healthy adulthood.

This mission is accomplished by:

  • Helping parents understand and respond to the complex world of their children and teens from a distinctively Christian point of view.
  • Equipping teenagers to deal with the challenges of adolescence.
  • Raising the youth culture awareness of youth workers, parents and educators, thereby helping them increase their effectiveness with parents, children and teens.

 

Youth Mission Week

During the week of Spring Break, our youth ministry (7th-12th) will be spending the week doing ministry work and mission projects. Students need to sign up by this Sunday so I will have enough tools, and supplies for our projects. I know everyones schedule is different, so if they can only participate one day that’s fine. If your student need a ride to and from the church please let me know.

 

Schedule:

 Monday – We will be working at Operation Ukraine packing a container that will be shipped to Ukraine. This container will be full of things that will meet the needs of the people of Ukraine. Students will need to be at the church by 9:00am. We will be working from 9:30-12. We will have lunch at 12, so students will need to bring lunch money. After lunch we will be done for the day.

 Tuesday – We will be working in Joy Landrum’s yard. We will be working from (10am-12pm), so students need to meet at the church at 9:30am. We will have lunch at 12, so students will need to bring lunch money.
