SUMMER FRIDAYS on the E.D.G.E. Covenant of Participation A covenant is a Biblical term that means a contract. In the Old Testament, God made numerous covenants with his people, spelling out things He expected from His people. Our Summer Fridays Covenant outlines the behavior all participants are expected to follow while at our service project sites. I will conduct myself at all times according to common standards for all Christians. I agree to be held accountable for my actions. I will not possess or use alcohol, drugs or tobacco of any kind. I will not fight, use weapons, or engage in similar dangerous activity. I will reflect God in my behavior, attitude and language. I will dress appropriately and will not wear clothing with non-christian or offensive words, pictures or logos. I will respect God s creation at all times. I will respect my neighbor s body, mind, spirit and property as well as the property where we are working. Beyond that, I will go out of my way to give compliments and encouraging words to others in the group, and be a source of Christian love as detailed in 1 Corinthians 13. I will not leave our work site at any time or for any reason, and will travel to all places we are working or relaxing with at least one buddy of the same gender. I understand that before I do that, I must ALSO inform an adult chaperone where I am going and why. I will not intentionally put myself or others in danger and will abide by the additional rules required at any work site or park we are at. I will cooperate with other members of our group and perform assigned tasks at each project without hesitation or argument. I understand that teamwork is expected and that our goal is to help others and complete a project. If I do not want to work hard, I should not attend these activities. I understand that if I violate this covenant, disciplinary action may be taken up to and including calling my parents who will be responsible for coming to our project/activity site and taking me home. Suspension from future youth group activities may also occur. The rules in this covenant can be modified or changed as needed, and additional rules may be established for a specific activity. SIGN AND RETURN (please make a copy for your own file and information) If a person does not follow the rules that have been outlined, they will be held accountable for their actions. We believe that discipline needs to carefully consider a youth s dignity and self-esteem, and while it is not an adult chaperone s desire or intent to embarrass or get anyone in trouble, the best interest of the group will take priority over anything else. By signing this covenant, you agree to abide by the rules detailed above. Your parent s signature acknowledges the terms and conditions expected of their youth, as well as the potential consequences and responsibilities if disciplinary action must occur.
