Dear Pastor,
_______________________________
(name of child) has signed up to participate in a God and
Life class at [church name and denomination] beginning on
[date].
Although the God and Life program
is the religious emblems program recognized by [Boy Scouts
of America, Camp Fire USA, Girl Scouts of the USA], it is
a program of the church and requires a signature and final
review by the pastor. Young people who participate in the
God and Life class offered at our church will be required
to complete the final review with their own pastors.
The young person listed above will be contacting you
around [date] when all the requirements have been
completed. Please “interview” the young person, review his
or her work, and sign the Award Application Form.
Young people who participate in our
program are invited to attend the Award Ceremony at our
church on [date]. However, we encourage congregations to
recognize their own members by planning award ceremonies
at a worship service in their own church.
The God and Life program is a
wonderful opportunity for congregations to nurture young
people and their families and to encourage them to grow in
faith together. We see this program as a special ministry
to scouting families, and we invite you to share in this
ministry! We hope that more and more churches provide
opportunities for their families to participate in the God
and Country program. Give us a call to talk about the God
and Country Series. You can also find more information at
www.praypub.org.
In Christian
love,
