Chaperones need not apply

I don't need chaperones to supervise our students when we gather on Wednesday nights. I need shepherds. I want shepherds. Chaperones need not apply. I want a group of adult leaders who see themselves as spiritual guides. I want a group of leaders that won't stand up against the wall watching. I want a group of leaders that will walk among our students. I want our leaders to wrestle with Peter's challenge in his first book,

“2Be shepherds of God's flock that is under your care, serving as overseers—not because you must, but because you are willing, as God wants you to be; not greedy for money, but eager to serve; 3not lording it over those entrusted to you, but being examples to the flock. 4And when the Chief Shepherd appears, you will receive the crown of glory that will never fade away.” - 1 Peter 5:2-4

There's way to much on the line and very little time to accomplish it! I am so thankful for the amazing group of shepherds our high school students have at SGC!
