Parents!-Notice upcoming Refresh discussion

We are just about finished with our Parents vs. Teens series. My prayer is that you have already begun to see some changes in your kids the last few weeks. We have been looking at the fact that the Bible commands us to respect our parents and obey them. I think this puts even more pressure on us as parents. Like you needed more right! But, seriously, our kids need us and they need our guidance and direction in their lives. I pray that God will grant us wisdom in loving and disciplining our children out of that love. Also, I wanted all parents to be aware that after next week, on Wednesday nights we will begin a 4 week series on sex and dating. I presented this material to the Dream Team about a month ago and made it available for any parent to view ahead of time to see if you had any concerns or questions. That invitation is still open but hurry! I am only about a week away from starting the series!

Upcoming Events

Hi everyone! Sorry that it has been so long since my last blog. I had the opportunity to preach this past Sunday and honestly that consumed most of my time! Anyway, I wanted to catch everyone up on a few details of things to come. As always, check our section in the bulletin for up to date details as well.

• SNL will be at Ross and Jamie's house this Sunday as we continue to study our Identity. Starting in Oct. we will be meeting at different houses throughout the fall so stay tuned to the bulletin and hopefully this blog for updates.
• Mud Mania is this Sunday night at the Presbyterian Church. We will still have our SNL time if you would like to join us for that first before heading over to the mud!
