Youth Ministry News (in pdf)
School is out for the summer! This means you have 6-7 hours of free time a day. I know you will have plenty to fill your time up with but I am challenging you to give 5 minutes of that time to God. Spend 5 minutes a day reading God's word. Here is some easy math for you. There are 288- 5 minute sections in one day. You will spend 96/288th sleeping and probably 48/288th watching TV or video games. Give God 1/288th of your time and read God's Word.
There will not be assigned readings. You can just open the Bible and see what you find or you can use the suggestions I will post on the Youth Blog. Either way, use the blog to talk about what you have read, share your thoughts, and grow with us this summer.
So Give God Five!

What is Success?
To laugh often and much.
To win the respect of intelligent people and the affection of children.
To earn the appreciation of honest critics and endure the betrayal of false friends.
To appreciate beauty.
To find the best in others.
To leave the world a bit better whether by a healthy child, a garden patch or a redeemed social
condition.
To know even one life has breathed easier because you have lived.
This is to have succeeded!

Take the
|
|
| MYTHS
AND FACTS ABOUT SUICIDE |
| Myth:
People who talk about suicide don’t kill
themselves.
Fact:
Eight out of ten suicides have
spoken about their intent before killing themselves |
Myth:
People who kill themselves really want to die.
Fact:
Most people who commit suicide
are confused about whether or not they want to
live or die. Suicide is often a cry for help that
ends in tragedy. |
Myth:
Once the depressions seems to be lifting, would-be
suicides are out of danger.
Fact: At such a time, they are most
vulnerable to a reversal: something can go wrong
to make the person even worse than before. The
person’s apparent calm may be due to having
already decided on suicide. |
Myth:
When people talk about suicide, you should get
their minds off it, and change the subject.
Fact:
Take them seriously; listen with
care; give them the chance to express themselves,
offer whatever help you can. |
