Well December flew by and here we are 2009!

Be sure to check out the ORLC Youth Page:

Here you can find the 2009 Youth Events as well as the most current Youth Newsletter.

February is the month we celebrate Valentines Day. What better time to reflect on what TRUE LOVE is...the kind we receive from our God and Creator!
Today’s students live in a sex-saturated world. In a media culture where it seems no topic is off limits, you can’t afford to NOT be talking about the big IT – honestly, unashamedly and often – with our youth.
It's Worth Waiting For...
On February 15th, ORLC will be presenting a special evening where we can come together and talk and learn about the kind of relationship God has planned for each one of us. What is Purity and why save the most precious intimate relationship with the one you marry?


Some of the topics we will cover:
Dating
Peer Pressure
Broken Relationships
The Rise of Same Sex Relationships
Internet Pornography
Sexually Transmitted Diseases
What's Secondary Virginity?
What Does the Bible Say?
Unequally Yoked...what's that?
What's A Purity Code
Separated Guy Talk Time
Separated Girl Talk Time
Separated Parent Talk Time


The Youth will have an opportunity to make a verbal, written and visual commitment at the conclusion of the evening. Youth and Parents are encouraged to purchase a special silver ring to signify purity until marriage.

Some choices for rings can be found at:

There are a variety of prices...
Mike will try to have a few there to look at and even purchase...but he will not have all sizes, styles, and prices...
Please call Mike in advance to see about having a ring there for your youth!

I pray each and every one of our youth and parents can make a commitment to join us on Feb. 15th. Look for your special invitation in the mail!
