Dear Pastor / Youth Pastor/ Parent,
Greetings in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ We are excited to announce the 24th Year of Teen Thunder! Our church has been looking forward to this for many months. The “festivities” begin on March 13th and run through March 17th.
As always, we would like to welcome you and your young people to attend. The Bible has always been the focus every year and this year is no exception. We have had many gifted preachers minister the Word of God to us over the years. This year is no exception. We have Pastor Robert E Carlson from Golden Plains Baptist Church. He is a dynamic and passionate preacher of the Word of God. Ours prayer and expectation is that God will use him in a mighty way. Also we have from Grace Baptist Church in Woodstock, Virginia, Pastor Ken Sparks. He has been a “constant” from the beginning. There will be a full schedule of great activities for the young people that keep them active and moving throughout the day. Meals will be provided as usual at the church.
We appreciate the willingness of counselors and parents in helping us keep up with the young people and we encourage everyone to get involved. We have a great skit planned for this year entitled “Pawns and Knights”. Without question we are looking to have a lot of fun, but our focus remains the same; the Word of God and its impact on hearts!
See you at our 24th TEEN THUNDER!
Dress Code and Standards of Conduct
To The Highest Common Standard… Rom. 14:14-16
PASTOR/ Youth Pastor/ Parent:
We would ask that you please help us maintain a high standard of dress and conduct at Teen Thunder. It is our desire to push our young people towards excellence in every area of their spiritual growth. The trends of today do not encourage young people to honor their bodies as the temples of God. The worldly clothing of today diminishes the person. Often the language and conduct is carnal. Our desire is to present a higher standard in accordance with the principles of Scripture. We thank you for helping us maintain these principles and guidelines. Let us aim high so that we don’t miss the mark.
Attire for Guys:
Morning/Afternoon Sessions:
Collared shirt, clean, neat pants (no shorts)
We are trying to stay away from logos, and “slogans” as teens are not always the best at discretion.
Evening Sessions:
Collared shirt, tie, and non-denim pants (no shorts)
Note: No shorts or tank tops will be allowed at any time.
- No earrings, piercings, necklaces or other such feminine jewelry shall be permitted.
- In no case shall any t-shirt or sweatshirt bear any logo or slogan which is not explicitly Christian.
- Sweatpants or track pants will be permitted for physical activities and shall not conform to the body as to be revealing.
- Any willful deviation from these standards will result in the participant being sent back to the dressing area to change.
Attire for Girls:
Morning/Afternoon Sessions:
Dress or skirt/top.
Denim is acceptable, but in no case shall the dress or skirt come above the knee when seated.
Evening Sessions:
Dress or skirt /top
We would like to encourage the young ladies to dress modestly. In no case should the dress or skirt come above the knee when seated.
Note:
- In keeping with modest apparel, tops shall come to the region of the collar bone at the neckline
- Any slits in skirts/dresses shall not come above the knee when seated
- No clothing shall be so tight as to be unreasonably revealing.
- Pants and shorts are not permitted in public at any time.
- Any willful deviation from these standards will result in the participant being sent back to the dressing area to change.
Behavior for all Participants:
- There shall be no physical contact between the sexes.
- When being transported from one area to another, girls shall sit in separate seats from boys.
- Everyone shall attend all sessions and activities unless specifically excused by a supervisor.
- Once a youth function has begun, participants forfeit their right to conduct their personal vehicles on the roadway (except as delegated by a supervisor) until the conclusion of the event.
- All game systems (PSP etc.), radios, I- Pods, secular books/magazines, cell phones and other entertainment devices shall not be permitted.
- Supervisors have the right to make a judgment on questionable dress and activity and the decision of the host Pastor shall be final. All participants should obey those in authority immediately and cheerfully.
- All participants are required to have FUN. This function is for a limited time and you will survive the regulations.
- Please smile now and return your registration.
These regulations are designed to maintain order and a positive reflection on the name of Jesus Christ.
