I agree to the followingSignature of Parent/Guardian(Required)Printed Name of Parent/Guardian and Date(Required)CONNECT Ecumenical Youth Group Covenant(Required)I will be open to the surprising work of God, even when it comes through the unexpected (like food I dislike, exhausting play, and people who are very different from me). I will be a part of a long-term experiment in Christian community while with this group, showing respect, honesty, and attentive love to each person. Whenever I am with this group, I will seek to follow the example of Jesus who did not come to be served, but to serve. I will seek to avoid actions or attitudes that might detract from the building of Christian community or the mission we have been called to accomplish (complaint, illegal drugs, alcohol, gossip, profanity, tobacco, etc.). I will honor the adults who have so graciously given their time in order that this group might happen. I will show them the respect they deserve, for I know that they love me and always have my best interests in mind. I will not destroy any property, but will instead leave things a little better than they were before I got there. I will honor the group and the importance of the time we have together by living within the basic behavioral guidelines for the group. During youth group outings I will not wander off from the group, and will stay with at least two friends, being careful to pay attention to when I need to check in with an adult. I will participate in the activities that have been planned for me, whether they be games, discussions, small group activities and lessons, worship, or meal/snack time. I also understand that I am to be respectful of our worship times, discussion times, and our small group space, and I will do my best to be attentive during this programming. In the unlikely event I choose to disregard this Covenant, I understand that my parents/guardian may be called, and I may be asked to leave the group until such time that I choose to regard the covenant.
