They may have the same mentor both years, but they need to re-ask that person every year as well. Mentors and students will meet once a month, there is time after Wednesday worship for students and mentors to meet in the building to go over their lesson. The students will have a mentorship booklet that the two of them will work through, one topic for each month. During Lent, when there are no classes, the youth are expected to attend Mid-week services and there will be a reading guide related to a certain part of the Bible that the youth and their mentors will discuss at the Lenten dinners. The youth and their mentors will also do two fellowship events and one service project together every year.
