Meet Nick and Jessica: Our Welcome Letter!

Dear Living Water Family,

            My name is Jessica Charney and I am the new Director of Youth Ministries at Living Water Church. My husband, Nick, and I are so excited to be here, to be a part of Living Water and to get to know the youth and families of this church. Since we are new here, I want to introduce myself.

            Nick and I both grew up in Elk Grove. We went to Laguna Creek High School, where we had mutual friends who introduced us at the end of my senior year (2004). We both attended Azusa Pacific University and were married shortly after graduating in 2007. Not long after we got married, I felt called to go to seminary. I attended APU’s seminary beginning in the fall of 2008 and graduated this past May.

During my time at seminary, I worked as an Assistant Youth Pastor at a local church and fell in love with youth ministry. I am thrilled at the opportunity to serve in youth ministry at Living Water and that after living in Southern California for seven years; we were able to come back to the area we love so much. Nick and I moved back to Elk Grove in July and are having a great time getting to know the youth and meeting new families here at the church.

If you are a parent of a Jr. High or High School Student, I want to invite you to attend the parent meetings we are hosting so that you can meet us (if you haven’t already) and hear all about what we have planned for the youth ministry in the coming school year. We have some exciting changes planned and the meetings will give you helpful information about the youth programs.

Meeting Date: Wednesday, August 31, 2011
Location: Living Water Sanctuary

Jr. High Parent & Student Meeting, 6:00 – 6:30 pm
Students who are planning on participating in the Confirmation program must attend this meeting with their parents.

Sr. High Parent Meeting, 6:30 – 7:00 pm
Students are welcome to attend this meeting with their parents. Sr. High Youth Group will begin immediately after the meeting concludes.       

            If you have any questions or are unable to make it to the meeting, feel free to contact me by email: Jessica@lwceg.org or phone: (916) 916-685-6161. You can also find out more about what we have been up to and what is planned for the future at our new youth website: http://lwcurrent.blogspot.com/

Sincerely,

Jessica Charney
Director of Youth Ministries
Living Water Church
