  Edge is Life Teen’s response to a growing need for middle school youth ministry. As adolescents, middle school youth are going through a time of immense change in their lives. They are starting to make decisions for themselves, beginning to act largely based on feedback from their peers, and becoming more independent from their parents. They are also in the midst of great uncertainty. Middle school teens are trying to figure out who they are and often struggle in their faith and beliefs. This makes middle school a vital time for youth to learn about and understand their faith. The Edge program was developed to minister to the needs of today’s middle school youth. Students in middle school have lots of questions about the world they live in, and this includes many questions about religion. They are too old to be treated the same way as a first, second, or third grader, but not quite mature enough to be treated like a high school teen or adult. In short, middle school teens are on the edge. They are trying to find where they belong in the world. And Edge is the perfect place for them to start looking. Edge is open to all 6-8 grade youth and will meet Wednesdays at 6:30 pm in St. Mary’s  Rectory after the Faith Night meal, starting Sept. 11.
