HSM Parent Blog 2-3-12

JSnow — Fri, 03 Feb 2012 20:04:03 +0000

Dear Parents,

I read this morning that Josh Hamilton, the all-star baseball player for the Texas Rangers had an “alcohol” relapse. The 30-year-old player was suspended for more then three years for drug and alcohol use while playing previously for another team.

Josh has also been featured on the website, “I am second” a series of videos with testimony’s from people whose lives have been changed by faith in God. So what do we do with this? I think most of us understand that people are not perfect and we understand when people stumble. But here is something else to remember.

I recently heard someone say that forgiveness and grace is the glue that will hold a community together. I think we can apply that to families as well. Forgiveness and grace is the glue that will hold a family together. We offend and hurt one another all too often. This is part of the human condition. But it’s forgiveness and grace that will set us a part as a people of faith.

Before hitting “send” on this Blog, I asked a friend to read it. My friend said it sounded a little heavy and I guess it is. My own life these past few weeks has felt heavy with my mom being very ill. Finding good care for my mom and dealing with the varying opinions of all my siblings has required some grace and forgiveness. Perhaps I write from this perspective today. All to say thank you for your faithfulness as parents and your prayers for my family.

Happenings.

*No Parent Left Behind is a seminar led by Walt Mueller, an old youth ministry guru. He is great. I would recommend it. You can register on-line at www.thirdpres.org and hit the link for the seminar. It runs Friday night and Saturday morning. The link will also give you more information on content. Some of our “Hope” parents are already planning to attend.

*Our middle and high school winter retreat is quickly approaching. Please help your child sign-up on line if they would like to go. Sign-up at www.hopecentral.com and go to the student ministry page for the “Awakening Retreat.” Please also know that we understand finances can be tight and we do have scholarship money left.

*This Sunday Middle and High School Ministry will meet together from 5:00-6:15.

Super Bowl Sunday

As you all know, this coming Sunday is the SUPER BOWL! a.k.a. the day the Giants are going to beat the Patriots…again This Sunday is going to look a little different because we want to give students the opportunity to watch the game. We will be having Middle School and High School BOTH starting at 5pm on Sunday night and ending at 6:15pm. It will be our standard break down including snacks, games, worship and a message. All staff will be on board, so it is going to be a very fun and energetic night! Yet again, this will be a great night to bring friends! Hope to see everyone on Sunday!

GO GIANTS!!!

Parents, we know you are busy, but we have a few resources to recommend.

Every week for about 15 minutes, you can check out David Dwight and Nicole Unice on a new podcast series called Becoming.
It’s free, will probably leave you laughing, and is a perfect download to listen to in a carpool lane or in those few quiet moments you find during the week.

Also, this will take a little more of your time, but will definitely be worth it. Parents of preschoolers, this will be a terrific resource for you. Janet Carter, a Certified Parent Coach in the John Rosemond Leadership Parenting Institute and Hope member, is offering a class for parenting in the preschool years. Please stop by Adventure Woods for a flier with more information, dates, and locations.
