"Making impressions while the cement is still wet."
Only 3 years in jr. high ministry. A time where children will grow into young adults. A time when children are still open and soft (wet cement) to different thoughts and ideas and beliefs. The impressions we make now as parents, teachers, and pastors, will eventually solidify. May our children have impressions that seek to "Glorify God and Enjoy Him Forever." (wsc question 1)
웨스트민스터 소요리 문답서
개신교회는 중요한 신앙 고백서들을 가지고 있다. [돌트 회의 법령] 이 나 [밸직 산앙 고백서] , [하이델베르크 요리문답서], 등은 중요한 개신교회의 신앙 고백서이다. 그 중에 가장 널리 알려지고, 또한 중요한 신앙고백서를 꼽으라고 한다면 그것은 [웨스트민스터 신앙고백서] 와 그에 따른 [대 소요리 문답서] 일 곳이다. 이는 이미 350 년 이상된 낡은 신앙 고백서이지만 진정으로 성경을 하나님 말씀으로 믿는 자에게 성경이 나타내고 있는 바를 충실히 가르치고 있는 책이다.

English: Introduction to our jr high ministryDear Parent(s),
The EM Jr. High (English Ministry) ministers to students in grades 6-8. Our hope and prayer is to see every student know and have a relationship with Jesus Christ as their personal Savior and Lord by the time they graduate from our department. As Savior, we desire each student to be grateful for our life that has been saved from condemnation and God's Holy Wrath punishable by Hell. And as Lord, we desire each student to truly grow in discipleship and to bear the fruit and evidence of true conversion and adoption into His family. Please remember to pray for us, as we are completely dependent upon the Lord in His wisdom and strength. On Sundays, we worship in the Vision Chapel at 10:55 AM. Our Sunday Worship ends 11:45 pm and we break for Sunday School Bible Study until 12:30. Please check to see your child brings their Bible to Church. We respectfully request each family to seek their children after this time and not disturb the Bible Study. The EM jr high uses G.C.P. (Great Commission Publications) for our Sunday School Curriculum. A quarterly (13 week) summary of our curriculum is distributed at every PTA (Parent Teacher Association), which is the first Sunday of each start of the new quarter (Mar-May, June-Aug, Sept-Nov, Dec-Feb). We hope parents will partner with us and discuss with their child what they are learning and how they will apply what they have learned in their Bible Studies to their lives. Please also assist them to memorize the B.M. verses (Bible Memory) and their Westminster Shorter Catechisms. As a ministry, we are also trying to read through the entire Bible. Each month, a Bible Reading Calendar is given where we read the Old Testament and New Testament each day. Perhaps you might be wondering why we try to study the Bible so much. It is because we believe that the Holy Spirit works through the reading of God's Word and lives are transformed as we submit our hearts and wills to God's will revealed to us through the Bible. As we learn and grow to know our Father in a personal relationship, we will conform more and more into the image of His Son Jesus Christ. We also believe that what we learn must be applied to life, so we have different activities to see our faith in life practice. Our EM jr high motto is, “To Educate and Practice, True Christian Faith-Living, Daily.” We have 4 different committees (InReach, OutReach, History& Publication, and Praise). Depending on the committee, they meet on different weeks from about 1 to 2 (depending on if there is Korean School). Our desire is for our students to know God through their studies as well as other activities of service and fellowship. On Fridays, we meet at 7 pm for dinner at church and then 7:30 for Friday Night Bible Study. We end at 9:30 pm sharp, so please pick up your children by then. Sometimes, we have activities away from the church. If your child desires to participate, they will have a release/permission form sent with them prior to the event. During Fridays, our goal is to learn a framework of the entire Bible (all 66 books), know the steps of maturing as a Christian, memorize 60 Bible Verses, and learn the 107 Questions and Answers of the Westminster Shorter Catechism. Our hope is to instill a love for who God is and what He has done. We hope for strong and mature Christian leaders will rise from our jr high ministry. We ask for your prayers and help at home. We look forward to serving your child and family for many years. Your Servant in Christ, Clark Choi [email protected] EM Jr. High Ministry Pastor www.heartlightministries.org/parentingtodaysteens/

Our Mission
The purpose of kids-in-mind.com is to provide parents and other adults with objective and complete information about a film's content so that they can decide, based on their own value system, whether they should watch a movie with or without their kids. www.pluggedin.comPlugged In Online is a Focus on the Family publication designed to shine a light on the world of popular entertainment while giving families the essential tools they need to understand, navigate and impact the culture in which they live. Through our reviews, articles and discussions, we hope to spark intellectual thought, spiritual growth and a desire to follow the command of Colossians 2:8: "See to it that no one takes you captive through hollow and deceptive philosophy, which depends on human tradition and the basic principles of this world rather than on Christ."
Each month, Plugged In Online is visited about 1 million times by people looking for detailed information about what's really in popular movies, videos, TV episodes, songs and games. Entertainment industry ratings only tell you so much. We go deeper, diving into specific content and the meaning behind it.

Korean: Introduction to our jr high ministry
학부형님들께
영어 목회부는 6학년부터 8학년 까지 입니다. 우리의 기도제목은 모든 학생들이 예수님이 영어 목회 중등부를 졸업할 때 까지는 우리들의 구원자 되심을 알고 받아드리는 것을 보기 원합니다. 우리는 학생들 각자가 죄로부터 구원받았으며 죄로 인하여 지옥 갈 것으로부터 구원 받았음을 감사히 여길 것을 바랍니다. 주께서 와 같이 우리는 학생들이 제자도 안에서 잘 자라기 원하며 가정에서도 변화된 증거를 가지고 열매 맺는 모습을 보기 원합니다. 우리들을 위하여 기도하시는 것을 기억하시고 하나님께서 지혜와 힘을 주실 것을 간절히 바랍니다. 주일 마다 오전 10시 55분 비죤 예배실에서 예배를 드립니다. 11시 45분에 예배를 마치며 12시 30분까지 성경공부를 위하여 쉬게 됩니다. 자녀들이 성경을 가지고 교회를 오게 하십시오. 여러분의 자녀를 이 시간 후에 찿으시되 성경공부는 방해하지 마십시오. 영어 중등부에서는 G.C.P.를 교재로 사용합니다. 각 4분기에 첫주에 (3월, 6월, 9월 12월) 한번씩 부모님들께 교과과정을 알리고 있습니다. 우리는 부모님들과 파트너로서 학생들이 교회에서 배운 것을 어떻게 생활에 적용하고 있는 지 알고 의논 하기를 원합니다. 그리고 학생들이 성경구절과 신앙 교리문답을 외우기를 도와 주십시오. 목회자로서 우리는 학생들이 성경 통독을 하기 원합니다. 매일 성경읽기 표가 이미 학생들에게 나누어 주었습니다.우리가 성경공부에 힘쓰는 이유는 성경말씀읽기를 통하여 성령이 일 하시며 우리의 마음을 바뀌게 하고 성경을 통하여 하나님의 뜻이 나타나기 때문입니다. 우리가 아버지 하나님을 개인적으로 알고 성장하면 우리는 그의 아들 예수님을 더욱더 알고 확신 할 수 있습니다. 또한 우리는 배운 것을 생활에 적용하고 우리의 실 생활에서 변화된 모습을 볼 것입니다. 우리 영어 중등부의 주제는 “진실한 그리스도인으로 교육하고 살아가자” 입니다. 우리는 4개의 위원회를 가지고 있습니다.(인리치,아웃리치,역사및출판,그리고 찬양) 위원회에 따라 1회에서 2회로 모입니다. 우리는 학생들이 그들의 학업을 통하여 또한 활동과 친교를 통하여 하나님을 알게 되기를 원합니다. 매 금요일 저녁 7시에 식사를 하며 7시 30분에는 성경공부를 합니다. 공부는 9시 30분에 정확히 끝나게 되니 정확하게 픽업하시기 바랍니다. 때때로 교회 밖에서도 활동을 합니다. 여러분의 자녀들이 이 활동에 참여하기 위해서는 부모의 동의가 필요합니다. 금요일에 우리의 목표는 성경 66권 전체를 배우고 그리스도인 으로서 성숙하며 60개의 성경구절을 외우고 107개의 교리문답을 배우는 것 입니다. 우리는 하나님의 사랑이 서서히 자녀들에게 인식되고 우리를 위하여 하신 일을 알게 되기를 소망합니다. 또한 우리의 중등부를 통하여 강하고 성숙한 교회의 지도자들이 생겨나기를 바랍니다. 여러분들은 가정에서 기도로써 도와주시고 저희는 계속하여서 여러분의 자녀와 가정을 위하여 헌신할 것입니다. http://www.christianitytoday.com/ct/movies/
