Honeywell Youth Ministry Communication
System
Register at http://instantalert.honeywell.com
SAND Youth Ministry is using the Honeywell Alert System for communication with teens and parents in Youth Ministry. While Schools use this for emergencies, Youth Ministry will be using this for a variety of different forms of communication with you. There are five different forms of communication that you will have to specify at what numbers and emails you would like to receive communication. If you are involved in Peer Ministry, please be sure to add the teen's cell phone and email address for YM Peer Ministry/ Retreats communications.
Simply
go to
Honeywell's
site and click on "Parent"
in the "New
User"
box to the right of the page, just below the
"Login"
box. You will be asked to find Holy Cross Youth
Ministry in the District drop-down
(districts
are for schools - however so is the system so we
have our own district)
as
well as the birthdate of your son/daughter. Then
simply follow the steps to specify the details of
your account and communication preferences.
Remember to store your username and password so
that you can update your contact information as it
changes in the future.

> SEEKING DISCIPLESHIP: All people are searching to fill that hole in their hearts. Many fill it with things that simply won't satisfy it's need. That whole was meant to be filled with God's love and relationship. It is the only thing that can fill that hole in our lives. To come to know our God, one must first realize a desire, a seeking to fill that emptiness in our lives, our hearts.
> AWAKENING DISCIPLESHIP: "Seek and you will find. Knock and the door will be opened for you." God's promise to us is true. If we seek God, we will be found by God. It is that epiphany that we, like St. Paul and many others who have gone before us, will experience in our lives if we seek God. When we seek with authenticity, God will awaken us by filling that emptiness in our hearts.
> NURTURING DISCIPLESHIP: If you leave food out that has been cooked, without doing anything to preserve it, it will go cold and become rotten. When we have become awake in our faith life to the love that God is offering us, we need to nurture that faith, that relationship with God.
SAND Youth Ministry's mission is to offer teens opportunities to seek out God, to become awakened to His love for them, and to offer communities and experiences to continue to nurture that relationship, that journey of faith.
