Tract Ministry: Thanks to everyone who contributed. About 400 tracts went out to kids and about 100 went to adults.

Bible-On-Display Rules: There can only be 1 display of each story, so you need to check with Sis. Robin to tell her what you want to do. Parents can help but the idea is to “help” and not do the entire thing for them. Any kind of display is acceptable – younger kids might want to draw or color a picture. Some type of report needs to be submitted with the display; simply presenting the scriptures is OK but remember, the idea is for the readers and child to learn about the story. The amount of research will be evident in the presentation. These are due on Friday, November 24. The church will be open from See Robin if you need to make different arrangements. Registration deadline is November 2.

Thanksgiving Fellowship: Dinner will be after services on November 23. Sis. Connie will be doing a turkey but needs someone to do a second turkey and a ham. Contact her if you can help with this.

if my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then will I hear from heaven and will forgive their sin and will heal their land.
2 Chronicles 7:14

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

"Who can understand the human heart? There is nothing else so deceitful; it is too sick to be healed" (Jeremiah 17:9, Good News Bible).

God says we all have the capacity to deceive ourselves into thinking good is evil, and evil is good. That's a frightening revelation. Given the right circumstances, we have the ability to commit evil and justify doing so. If we desensitize to the point that we can no longer recognize evil, is it possible that we, too, could become agents of evil instead of just spectators?

Our Creator warns us to carefully guard the thoughts and motives of our heart to avoid falling prey to self-deception. With His help and careful vigilance as to what we allow into our minds, we can prevent the dark side of the human heart from controlling our destiny.
(Excerpt from on-line site)

Child Rearing 101:
Mary (not her real name) was often at home alone. Raising her alone, her mother worked nights as a cocktail waitress. When Mary's mother was home, she was often sleeping. Mary's friends were experimenting with drugs and sex, and Mary found it difficult to avoid the pressure of doing what she knew was wrong.
Her excuse to stay away from the pressure was to spend more time in her room watching TV and E-mailing friends from camp. When asked if she could hang out with her friends, her answer was that she wasn't allowed out on school nights. Mary told me this was her own rule, but she wished her mother had established it.
Children left to raise themselves often feel isolated and alone and are vulnerable to making decision to do what it takes to find acceptance and support from other teens. What many teens need is precious in our hectic, frenetic life: focused time as a family.

Paul advised parents not to "provoke" their children "to wrath, but bring them up in the training and admonition of the Lord" (Ephesians 6:4). To train means to establish a pattern or procedure and require compliance. Offering a consistent approach to your family is like having visible, clear boundaries around your property.

Pre-teens and Teens would rather see a sermon than hear one. If you live by values in your own life, it is far more reasonable to expect your teens to imitate you. Telling your son or daughter not to smoke while lighting up can be transparently hypocritical. Values such as honesty, controlling your anger and showing respect for others are not as obvious, but are valuable in coaching young minds.
