CONNECTING IT THROUGH THE WEEK
It’s pretty disappointing for teenagers when they really want something but don’t
get their way. (Hey, that’s still hard for most adults!) As a parent, you have to tell
your kids no sometimes—especially if it’s for their physical or emotional safety.
Even if your junior higher becomes upset, you know that you’re looking out for his
or her best interest.

God also has our best interest in mind. God can see the big picture and always
makes the right decision that will help us grow in our faith. Share with your
teenager a time that God didn’t answer a prayer the way you’d hoped—and how
you grew from that experience.

THIS WEEK @ JHaF

Being that this week is Valentine’s Day, we will be spending time helping the students think through the relational and emotional implications of how they act with the opposite sex. Please know that this is NOT a sex talk! Our main goal as a team, is to guide our students into a better understanding of how our actions today have an impact on their relationship with their future spouse.

If you have any questions or would like a copy of our discussion before hand, please do not hesitate to contact me.

NOTE:  The bulletin stated that we will be meeting in the basement – it was a mistake. We are meeting in the JHaF room.
