Read through the Bible Campaign: All of you who are reading, keep up the reading and turn in the sheets that you have read. Remember this program is for children, parents, grandparents, and anyone who would like to participate in the program. The child, parent, or grandparent who are reading the Bible together will need to get the page of the chapters for the reading. After five pages are turned in, we will celebrate with you before worship.

ST. PAUL/SETTLEMENT LUTHERAN CHURCH JOINT MINISTRY PERMISSION SLIP

FOR USE OF G, PG, PG-13, AND R-RATED MOVIES

St. Paul/Settlement Church’s youth and family ministry goal is to help teenagers is to know and share the joy of Christ as the Holy Spirit guides the ministry. That means we need to address real-world issues in our ministry, and we need your help to accomplish this. Through discussions that reveal either the gospel’s presence or absence in popular culture, we help LYO (Lutheran Youth Organization) develop an ability to think critically and faithfully about the messages the media presents. In turn, we encourage them to live their faith authentically at school, home, and church, and to engage the Holy Spirit’s discernment in their lives. As part of our ministry, we will sometimes be using video or clips of videos as bible studies, or discussion starters. The movies may include G, PG, PG-13, and R-rated movies (for 6th-12th grade only). R-rated movies with excessive profanity or obscene language or intense sexual situations will not be allowed. R-rated movies will be used only when we believe they offer powerful illustrations about life and/or faith. We will communicate clearly to our young people that the viewing of this movie is not an endorsement of the movie. We will voice this disclaimer as well for any G, PG, or PG-13 movies that contain offensive material. If you understand and approve of our plan to occasionally use videos or video clips from R, PG-13, PG, or G-rated movies when we believe it’s appropriate, please indicate your support by signing and returning this form.
