                                life’s daily challenges.
                                When Group Magazine recently surveyed 20,000 Christian teenagers about their priorities,
                                “praying and developing a relationship with God.” was at the top. But many youth ministers were
                                surprised by those survey results. “Kids’ actions
                                communicate something different,” noted one youth minister. “They’re so busy…that it seems the
                                first things to get dropped are the items listed as priorities.”
                                Another wrote, “My teens struggle with prayer, and many tell me a relationship with God is hard,
                                confusing, and at times, not relevant.”
                                Taking time to “Be still, and know that I am God!” (Psalm 46:10) is challenging in our always-on-
the-go culture. Kids are surrounded by noise—and have a lot of noise in their hearts. Distractions, worries, fears, and hurts often
make a relationship with God more difficult, but they also make it more important.
Kids look to their parents as examples of how to stay connected to God. If you’ve kept this relationship
private, let your teenagers in on ways you stay in touch with God. Also share ways it has sustained you through life’s ups and
downs, and assure your kids that the same will be true for them too.

Going Deeper On SimplyYouthMinistry.com, Andy Blanks, Student Life’s resource
development director, writes about lessons he learned by setting aside time for teenagers
to connect with God
                                         When I led my youth group in a “spiritual disciplines” retreat
                                         awhile back, I was overwhelmed at the number of teenagers
                                         who, when given an opportunity, chose to spend meaningful
                                         time cultivating their relationship with Christ.
                                         Most teenagers took the time seriously, practicing a mix of
                                         some guided Scripture meditation and some in-depth study
                                         based on a study guide I had created for them. All in all, it was
                                         a great event, a time of spiritual recharging for kids and adults
                                         alike. Throughout the weekend, kids came up to me saying
                                         how much fun they had praying and listening.
 The main thing I learned is that the Holy Spirit is capable of moving in the lives of all Christians, even
 the most non-committed, spiritually distracted teenager. The key is that the Holy Spirit must be given
 room to move! That was the point of our weekend, to provide intentional room for an encounter. We
 made the time, and the Holy Spirit came through. I watched life-change happen before my eyes.
 I also learned that even though I talk the good talk about guiding teenagers deeper into their
 relationship with God, I had some significant-if-secret hesitations about how a weekend centered on
 “disciplines” would go over. Well, the kids proved me wrong at every turn. And this is one time I was
 glad to be proven wrong.

    New charitable giving program from Thrivent Financial
        From Thrivent Financial representatives

Thrivent Choice is a new member-directed giving program that gives members a voice in helping
choose where Thrivent Financial for Lutherans distributes a portion of its charitable grant funds.
Thrivent Financial members can participate in Thrivent Choice in one or two ways based on their
involvement with Thrivent Financial:
   Thrivent Choice Voting Events: All benefit and associate members (age 16 or older) can
      “vote” to distribute charitable funds among a short list of national charities (Lutheran and
      non-Lutheran), one to two times per year.
   Choice Dollars: About 30 percent of benefit members will be able to help direct Choice
     Dollars to thousands of Lutheran nonprofit organizations, including Our Saviour Lutheran
     Church.
      Eligibility to help direct Choice Dollars is based on a benefit member’s involvement in
      Thrivent Financial—via their level of fraternal benefit society product ownership (life
      insurance, health insurance and annuities) or Thrivent Financial volunteer leadership. 80
      percent of those eligible for Choice Dollars will be able to direct between $25 and $100, while
      some may be able to direct as much as $500.
      Note: Directing Choice Dollars will be subject to the Terms and Conditions of Thrivent
      Choice.
Why
 To get more members involved in determining how Thrivent Financial distributes its
charitable dollars.
 To support nonprofit organizations that are important to members.
 To highlight Thrivent Financial’s uniqueness as a fraternal benefit society by seeking member
input to distribute charitable grant funds.
To provide members with a unique benefit of membership.
When
 April 19 to May 21: First Voting Event for all benefit and associate members
 Summer: Choice Dollars launch to eligible members via a direct mail campaign over six weeks.
The letters will include eligible members’ approximate designated Choice Dollars for 2010.*
(continued on page 10)
December: Potential second Voting Event for all benefit and associate members
How
 April 19 to May 21: Members may vote for their favorite national organization online
(Thrivent.com/choicevote) or via business reply card in the spring issue of “Thrivent” magazine
Summer: Eligible benefit members may help direct Choice Dollars online or by calling our service

  • 4. PAGE 4 June 2010 From Pastor Greg Help your teenagers stay connected to God A close relationship with God is both the core of our Christian life and our highest end as human beings. As we learn about God and develop intimacy with him, our faith morphs from a “practice” to a lifestyle. Worship and Bible study not only help us experience God, they strengthen us for life’s daily challenges. When Group Magazine recently surveyed 20,000 Christian teenagers about their priorities, “praying and developing a relationship with God.” was at the top. But many youth ministers were surprised by those survey results. “Kids’ actions communicate something different,” noted one youth minister. “They’re so busy…that it seems the first things to get dropped are the items listed as priorities.” Another wrote, “My teens struggle with prayer, and many tell me a relationship with God is hard, confusing, and at times, not relevant.” Taking time to “Be still, and know that I am God!” (Psalm 46:10) is challenging in our always-on- the-go culture. Kids are surrounded by noise—and have a lot of noise in their hearts. Distractions, worries, fears, and hurts often make a relationship with God more difficult, but they also make it more important. Kids look to their parents as examples of how to stay connected to God. If you’ve kept this relationship private, let your teenagers in on ways you stay in touch with God. Also share ways it has sustained you through life’s ups and downs, and assure your kids that the same will be true for them too. Dare 2 Share Ministries president, Greg Stier discusses staying connected through prayer: Prayer is emptied of its power when it’s for public show or word-count dependent. How fancy our prayers Search Institute researchers surveyed more than 7,000 sound doesn’t matter to God; it’s whether or not we kids in eight countries (including America) to gauge how actually believe he will answer our prayers. In James 1:6, teenagers around the world view their relationship with God tells us how a Christian should approach God in God. Some responses: prayer: “But when he asks, he must believe and not 55 percent of teens surveyed say their “spirituality” has grown stronger over the last few years, and 43 percent of U.S. kids doubt, because he who doubts is like a wave of the sea, say they’re both spiritual and blown and tossed by the wind.” (NIV) religious.

Going Deeper On SimplyYouthMinistry.com, Andy Blanks, Student Life’s resource development director, writes about lessons he learned by setting aside time for teenagers to connect with God When I led my youth group in a “spiritual disciplines” retreat awhile back, I was overwhelmed at the number of teenagers who, when given an opportunity, chose to spend meaningful time cultivating their relationship with Christ. Most teenagers took the time seriously, practicing a mix of some guided Scripture meditation and some in-depth study based on a study guide I had created for them. All in all, it was a great event, a time of spiritual recharging for kids and adults alike. Throughout the weekend, kids came up to me saying how much fun they had praying and listening. The main thing I learned is that the Holy Spirit is capable of moving in the lives of all Christians, even the most non-committed, spiritually distracted teenager. The key is that the Holy Spirit must be given room to move! That was the point of our weekend, to provide intentional room for an encounter. We made the time, and the Holy Spirit came through. I watched life-change happen before my eyes. I also learned that even though I talk the good talk about guiding teenagers deeper into their relationship with God, I had some significant-if-secret hesitations about how a weekend centered on “disciplines” would go over. Well, the kids proved me wrong at every turn. And this is one time I was glad to be proven wrong.
