FLAME High School Ministry

FLAME is the new name for High School Ministry at Incarnation.  At every baptism we hear Jesus say, "Let your light shine before others that they see your good works and give glory to your Father in heaven (Matthew 5:16)."  FLAME High School Ministry is designed to help young people in 9th - 12th grades to figure out ways to live out their faith in daily life while letting God's love shine through them into the world.

  FLAME is on Facebook!  "Like" the page for event information, connect with other youth and the most up to date information.

FLAME Stepping Stones
Blessing of Graduating Seniors
High School seniors who are graduating this year are welcome to a Senior Blessing on Sunday, June 2 during the 10:45 a.m. worship service in Incarnation Hall. Graduating seniors please RSVP to the Incarnation Office by May 24.
When: Sunday, Jun. 2; 10:45 a.m. service
Where: Incarnation Hall

Blessing of Car Keys
One of the most exciting times for high school students is when they receive their driver’s license. For parents, it can come with mixed emotions - happiness at fewer driving responsibilities, but also some worry about safety and good choices. This stepping stone is unique in that it is an at home blessing for you and your family. Blessings will be mailed three times throughout the school year, around your 16th birthday. Did we miss you getting your license? Stop by the Incarnation Office for a blessing and a small gift.

Entry into High School
Students and families face a lot of changes as kids enter into high school. Students are maturing, they are more independent, and begin to juggle a lot more responsibilities. In the Entry into High School Stepping Stone, students and their parents will learn about managing commitments from a faith perspective and will get a preview of opportunities for high school students through Incarnation. For part of the time, students and parents will be on different tracts as students gain an experience of High School ministry while parents learn more about how they can continue to guide their child on their faith journey after Confirmation and throughout high school.
When: Fall 2013 date coming soon.

FLAME Adult Volunteers
Adult volunteers are so important as mentors and a FLAME ministry. In order to be responsible for the safety of kids and for the protection of adult volunteers, in 2004 the Incarnation Council implemented the Policy for Protecting Children and Youth. For many volunteer positions in FLAME High School Ministry, including being a basketball coach, small group leader or driver, adult volunteers need to submit a completed background check form at least one week prior to volunteering. Background checks are valid for 3 years.

Adult volunteers are a very important part of FLAME High School Ministry! Here is a list of current needs for the 2012/2013 program year.
