Are You the Weakest Link?

7/27/2011

0 Comments

 
You’ve heard the old ancient proverb that “one bad apple spoils the whole bunch”.  This is a thought of one who stirs up trouble.  Even when things are going good, you have one person that digs up something to mess the whole thing up.  When trying to hold a solid youth group together, it sometimes only takes one person to bring down the entire group.  When this happens, it can take weeks or even months to resolve the issue and get everyone back to where they need to be.  Negativity is a part of our human nature, but we have to resist the temptation to become that bad apple and focus on the positive rather than the negative.  If we don’t then we have to face ourselves in the mirror and realize we have become the weakest link.
 
Philippians 4:8-   Finally, brothers and sisters, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable—if anything is excellent or praiseworthy—think about such things. 

“Don’t let the hands of Satan bring you down.  Know that God is bigger and better and we should think about that instead of our negative thoughts.”
Youth Yard Sale
We are still accepting donations for our yard sale on Aug. 6th.  If you have donations please drop them off in the church trailer or call Bro. Trent if you need assistance.  Thank You!!!
Praise Band
Praise band will meet this week at 5:45pm with everyone to discuss the upcoming semester and look at new music.  Please be here for this meeting if you plan to be a part of praise band.

MANNERS!
Are you familiar with the phrases “yes and no mam or sir, or excuse me?  Do you snap rudly at your parents when they ask you simple questions?  What about speaking out loud when someone else is speaking and rudely interupting them?  This week’s discussion revolves around good and bad manners and why they are important.  It amazes me today to see people becoming more illmannered and less respectful than ever before.  The Bible teaches us proper ways of communication, respect, and gratitude; all of which we need to learn and put into practice no matter how old or young we are.  Manners should be taught in the school and the home, and if they are not practiced then what good do they become?  How are your manners?
 
COMING SOON NEXT WEDNESDAY
MOVIE and LUAU NIGHT:  6:00 p.m.
FEATURING: SOUL SURFER

How Do You Communicate with Others?

7/6/2011

0 Comments

 
A major down fall in our society today is the ability to effectively communicate with each other.  Most people prefer the methods of using text message, facebook, or myspace when in fact they may be avoiding the issue of confrontation.  It is important to learn how to interact with each other and not hide behind a telephone or computer.  If you are going to use your phone, pick it up and make a call instead of sending out a text message. If we don’t learn how to communicate properly, then how are we to become effective Christians when it comes to spreading the Gospel and helping others out who are in need?  Please join us this week as we discuss our topic of Effective Communication!!!!
 
Colossians 4:6  Let your conversation be always full of grace, seasoned with salt, so that you may know how to answer everyone.

“Electric communication will never be a substitute for the face of someone who with their soul encourages another person to be brave and true.”
-Charles Dickens

PRAISE BAND
Praise Band will meet this week and practice at 5:45pm.  Please be there and on time!!!!

Bro. Trent and Ms. Rebecca
