Shattered Reading Update

Monday is PJ and Hot Chocolate Day. We will be selling hot chocolate (for $1.00) so that you can read and enjoy during Reading Period first thing in the morning.

During that time you will need to read up to chapter 15 in Shattered (you may also read the NT).

See you Monday in your PJ's!

Float or Sink?

Encourage One Another

Remember to encourage one another and build each other up. I was so encouraged by the kind words that you wrote on my "report card." It made my week! Thank-you.

1 Thessalonians 5: 10-18

So encourage each other and build each other up, just as you are already doing.

Paul’s Final Advice
12 Dear brothers and sisters, honor those who are your leaders in the Lord’s work. They work hard among you and give you spiritual guidance. 13 Show them great respect and wholehearted love because of their work. And live peacefully with each other.
14 Brothers and sisters, we urge you to warn those who are lazy. Encourage those who are timid. Take tender care of those who are weak. Be patient with everyone.

15 See that no one pays back evil for evil, but always try to do good to each other and to all people.

16 Always be joyful. 17 Never stop praying. 18 Be thankful in all circumstances, for this is God’s will for you who belong to Christ Jesus.
