Children's MinistriesParenting TipsA Few Thoughts About Anger and the ConscienceWe often say that "Angry people are unhappy people." One reason that this is true is because the conscience continues to remind them that they have lost control and acted inappropriately. Furthermore, anger often confuses the problem-solving process. People who use anger to solve problems often hurt others and damage relationships resulting in a guilty conscience. “Do not be quickly provoked in your spirit, for anger resides in the lap of fools.” - Ecclesiastes 7:9 The Funny Side of ParentingThe Right Choice My 16-year-old brother, Steve, nearly forgot Father's Day was approaching. Suddenly on Saturday night he realized it was Father's Day and he had neglected to buy a card for our dad. After much searching, Steve located an open store, but was disappointed to find only two cards left on a picked-over rack. Selecting one, he brought it home. The next morning, somewhat sheepishly, Steve presented it our father. Upon opening it, Dad read this message: "You've been like a father to me." Dad looked at Steve, puzzled. "Well, Dad," Steve tried to explain, "it was either that or the card that said, "Now that I'm a father, too!" "Child care must be understood as a profound influence on the lives of children, not as a service to parents like ATM machines" - Dr. Gil Foley, Ed.D. "A community is like a ship. Everyone ought to be prepared to take the helm." - Henrik Ibsen Galactic Blast Vacation Bible SchoolThis year's Vacation Bible School was a huge success with Galileo the Gorilla helping us learn about God's creation and what it might be like to live in space. Thank you for your help. EducationPrimrose Promise:
The Primrose Promise is alive and well and going strong. We have raised lots of money in order to reward our students for their excellent work at school. The students are working hard to raise their grades and strive for excellence. But we have run into one big glitch!!! Our problem is that not everyone is turning in their report cards when they get them. We cannot reward the student without a copy of their report card. Please parents, we need your help. When your child receives their report card, PLEASE, make a copy and send it to the church. If you don’t have a way to make a copy, send the report card to us and we will make the copy and send the card back to you. We want to ENCOURAGE and REWARD your children, but we must have your help to do it.
Also, we need some folks who would like to help tutor the students on Wednesday afternoon. You do NOT need a college degree to be a tutor. However, you do need to care for the student and what him or her to do better in their schoolwork. We need persons to listen as the student reads, help with pronunciation and correct mistakes. We need tutors in mathematics and science. If you can help, please call the church office at 501-888-3854. Congratulations to the following students:
Tutoring Help Available
For those children that are enrolled in our after school care program, Homework help and tutoring are available every day. If your child is struggling in a subject and needs extra help, please speak with Ms Angel Pike or Ms Gale Taylor in the afternoons. If you would narrow down areas that your child needs help with, we will provide those types of work activities to help them. But we cannot help them with things that we do not know about. Please communicate with us; we are here to help your child succeed in school.
