FOR PARENTS ONLY:

The middle school staff values the trust you put in us to assist in the spiritual fomation of your child. We provide a ton of events throughout the year... but, here is the three most important things we offer:

1. Weekend Celebrations. We offer three identical celebrations (Saturday, 6:30-7:30pm, Sundays, 10:15-11:15am and 11:45 - 12:45pm). During the last 20 minutes of each hour students spend time connecting to a small group of students with mentoring adults.

2. 7|Spot. Almost every month we offer this action packed event that include crazy games, skatebording, dance club, basketball, cafe and a safe place to hang out with friends.

3. Summer of Service. For one week each summer we come together to worship and serve the city of Cincinnati. Check out the SOS website.

Middle School Sexuality Retreat
I like to say (a bit in jest) that this event is strongly recommended for sixth graders and mandatory for seventh and eighth graders. I strongly believe that it's the most important weekend retreat we do each year. You may find that family friends will be very open to having their kids attend... so, this may be a great chance to invite your students friends to a Vineyard event. This event occurs in the spring.

Volunteer Staff   Roles are still being filled in the areas of hospitality/check-in, and the café for the Student Union to function each weekend during celebrations. We feel parents would be wonderful for these roles and I’d like to extend an official invitation for you to consider joining our Volunteer Staff.

Groups
If your student has been participating in weekend middle school celebrations and they are not yet connected to a group... please email Mat Milthaler (milthaler (at) vineyardcincinnati.com) to start the process of getting them connected. Also, you can stop by the information counter in the Student Union lobbyand ask any of the adults how to get your student connected.
