I hope you and your families are doing well!

As we continue to support for our youth ministry, we are looking for parents who would be willing to volunteer in one of two areas. Any amount of time you are able to give is greatly appreciated, and you can choose the opportunity that best fits your schedule and availability.

1. Friday Dinner Cooking Team

Our youth AV and worship team serves on Friday evenings, and we would love to have a team of parents help provide a simple dinner for 6–8 youths and counselors. Meal expenses will be reimbursed.

Volunteers would:

• Purchase the ingredients.
• Prepare and cook a SIMPLE meal.
• Bring the meal to church by 6:40 PM.

You can sign up to help once a month, once a quarter, or occasionally, depending on what works best for you. Even volunteering from time to time would be a tremendous help!

2. Administrative Team

We are also looking for parents who can help with a few administrative tasks related to youth events, such as:

• Making copies and recording checks at church.
• Assisting with waiver forms and other administrative tasks, some of which may be completed from home.

This team would be needed for approximately three events throughout the year, so the time commitment would be limited and flexible. We hope this opportunity will make it easy for parents to participate in a way that works well with their schedules.

We truly appreciate any time and support you are able to give. Your willingness to serve helps our counselors spend more time focusing on and caring for our youth.

If you are interested in joining either team, please reply to this email and let me know which area you would like to help with.

We’d also like to give a special thank-you to Sister Yanchun Yang (Michael Liu’s mom) for helping with the translation! We truly appreciate her support.

Blessings,

亲爱的青少年家长们：

愿您和您的家人一切安好！

为了继续支持我们的青少年事工，我们诚挚邀请家长们参与服事。目前有以下两个方面的服事机会，您可以根据自己的时间和情况，选择最适合自己的方式参与。

1. 周五晚餐烹饪服事

我们的青少年影音（AV）和敬拜团队每周五晚上都会参与服事。为了支持他们，我们希望邀请一些家长组成晚餐服事团队，为大约 6–8位青少年和辅导员准备简单的晚餐。所需的餐费将由靑少年事工报销。

志愿者主要需要：

• 购买所需的食材；
• 准备并烹饪简单的晚餐；
• 在晚上 6:40 PM之前将餐食带到教会。

您可以按照自己的时间安排选择 每月一次、每季度一次，或偶尔参与。即使只是偶尔帮忙，对我们的青少年事工来说也是非常大的支持！

2. 行政协助服事

我们也希望邀请一些家长协助青少年活动相关的行政工作，例如：

• 在教会帮忙复印资料、登记和记录支票；
• 协助处理家长同意书（waiver forms）及其他简单事务，其中部分工作可以在家完成。

这个团队一年大约需要协助 三次活动，因此整体时间投入比较有限，也具有一定的灵活性。我们希望这样的安排能够让家长们根据自己的时间和生活安排，以合适的方式参与服事。

我们非常感谢每一位家长愿意付出的时间和心力。您的参与不仅是在帮助我们的青少年，也能让我们的辅导员有更多时间专注于属灵的陪伴、关怀和照顾孩子们。

如果您有兴趣加入其中任何一个团队，请回复这封邮件，并告诉我您希望参与哪一方面的服事。

另外，也特别感谢杨艳春姐妹(Michael Liu 的妈妈）为本期通讯提供中文翻译的帮助。

愿神赐福您和您的家人！
