 On
Sunday, June 8th, we will welcome Roy Johnson
to the Central church of Christ. Brother Johnson is the executive
director of the “Lads to Leaders & Leaderettes” program.
Lads to Leaders & Leaderettes is a program that has been used by
churches of Christ for 40 years to provide an effective year-round,
Bible-based youth leadership program for students from Kindergarten
through College.
Even though Lads to Leaders & Leaderettes is directed at
youth, this is not just a youth program. It is a congregational
program. Using the Bible standard of the old teaching the young,
adult mentors assist the youth in training in various areas such as
scripture memorization, Bible reading, speech preparation and
presentation, debate, Bible bowl and song leading. This gets the
entire congregation involved and brings about a spirit of unity.
Brother Johnson will conduct the Adult Bible Class in the
Auditorium giving an overview of the Lads to Leaders & Leaderettes
program and how our congregation can utilize this program. He will,
also, conduct a two-hour workshop for all families and members
interested in being a part of this program. This workshop will not
be a “decision making time,” but an informational and
interest-gauging time.
Lads to Leaders & Leaderettes
is a sound and time-tested program that has been successful at
dozens of congregations with thousands of kids. Our elders and
I believe that Central can make this program a success here, too.
Let’s all make it a priority to be at the building for Bible class,
worship, and the workshop on the 8th of June, so that we can begin a conversation that will
lead to our young people becoming great Christian leaders. |
