I wanted to give you as parents a heads up. You may or may not have heard, but starting on February 12th, I will be taking a five week sabbatical. This is one of the “perks” of being at Harvest for almost seven years. I want you to know that while I am gone, we will continue to have normal youth group activities. We will continue to meet on Sunday nights for youth group, our small groups will keep meeting, and Sunday school will keep going. They will be led by some very gracious and capable volunteers. I am working on finalizing a few more things, but I am excited for the students.

If you would like to keep up with what I am doing during my sabbatical, I will be blogging about it on my website, dikrankoundakjian.com. I am praying that God will use this time to be refreshing, and prepare me for what lies ahead. I would love for you to be praying for me during this time.

If you have questions about the youth ministry during this time, please talk to me. You can email me at d.koundakjian@harvestefree.org or call the office (515.733.5360).

Ok, so it’s been a long time since we had anything on here for parents, but that is about to change. We will be posting here more often with information you need to know about what is happening in the youth ministry. We will also be posting things we hope will be helpful for you as parents.

There are a couple of ways that you can stay updated.

1. You can come back to this website each day and see if we have posted anything new.
2. If you use an RSS reader, you can subscribe to the updates using this link.
3. You can have updates emailed to you directly by clicking this link and filling out the form.

It’s just that easy. Hopefully you will find this section helpful.
