CrossWalk High School Ministry ZION LUTHERAN ANOKA 2017-2018
Welcome to CrossWalk Wednesdays! Zion is excited to be continuing CrossWalk Wednesdays, a weeknight ministry for families, children, youth and adults. CrossWalk for High Schoolers is a time and place for high schoolers to truly be themselves. We encourage people to come as they are, to learn and understand where they are in there faith, and to have a safe and open envi-ronment where they feel comfortable talking to their fellow Peers. We in-vite all high schoolers to attend CrossWalk Wednes-days, starting in October!
Peer Ministry Don’t let anyone think less of you because you are young. Be an example to all believers in what you say, in the way you live, in your love, your faith, and your purity. — 1 Timothy 4:12 The purpose of Peer Ministry is to encourage, equip, and empower high school youth in exploring what it means to be a disciple and to invite others onto this journey as well. We will explore what faith means in everyday life, and how we can tie that into God’s calling to be servant leaders.

What do we do?
Peer Ministry
Beginning in October, Zion will host a Peer Ministry
Retreat for those that are interested in learning
more about Peer Ministry. Peer Ministry is a pro-
gram that empowers students to become leaders in
all aspects of their lives through their beliefs by giv-
ing them the necessary tools to do so.
Peer Ministry will meet once a month throughout the year
on Sundays.
CrossWalk - Sr. high
The Sr. High program for CrossWalk this year will focus on personal faith and service, and will center
around the theme of Martin Luther and the Reformation. CrossWalk for Sr. High students will meet
on Wednesdays and Sunday mornings. These are times for High Schoolers to come in, hang with their
friends, learn about their faith and how to apply it to everyday life. There will be many opportunities
to go on retreats offsite, attend lock-ins, and go to the National Youth Gathering! We aim to provide
a safe and open environment for all Sr. high students. So, come and see what we are all about!

3 Sibling Participation:
Zion requires church workers who are responsible for one or more children to go through a standardized screening procedure. This includes a criminal records check. If you have not completed a Zion background check within the past two years,
you will be asked to complete a Background Information Disclosure Form. All information is confidential and is stored in a secure location.
Each family is asked to provide approximately 20 hours of adult volunteer time.
The more youth and adult volunteers that we have, the safer and more positive experience the children and volunteers will have. If a parent isn’t available, another family member may be interested! (High school sibling, aunt/uncle, grandparent…) Please check any areas that are of interest, and write the name and phone number of the family member in the line following the description.
