YOUTH NEWS

Amazing group of kids !!!!!!!!!! On

Wednesday the group went to Closet

Treasures and picked up clothes for our

clothes closet. They made short work of

it by all working together.

Sign ups for the fall retreat are

coming to an end. The retreat is on

October 2 at 3:00. We will leave the

building at 2:00. The bus will be returning

to the church building at noon on

Wednesday. We are so excited to go.

Dinner on Wednesday was

Spaghetti, salad (with strawberries and

grapes) and garlic bread. Thank you

Marilyn Wilkins for the brownies.

Sunday night we had an excellent

devotion at the home of Mike and Mandy

Cocke. We had a talk on character and

how to build it. Hailey McKaskle

volunteered to be secretary for

fellowship groups. We really appreciated

the hospitality of the Cocke's. Thank you

again.

Take Our Advice

Proverbs is a collection of wise sayings that'll guide you through

just about anything life might throw your way. The book is

packed with good advice. So, from Proverbs, here's our Top 10

List of wise words for life:

1. Guidance "Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not

on your own understanding; in all your ways acknowledge Him,

and He will make your paths straight" (Proverbs 3:5-6).

2. Discernment "There is a way that seems right to a man, but in

the end it leads to death" (Proverbs 14:12).

3. Confidence "Have no fear of sudden disaster or of the ruin

that overtakes the wicked, for the Lord will be your confidence

and will keep your foot from being snared" (Proverbs 3:25-26).

4. Work "Go to the ant, you sluggard; consider its ways and be

wise! It has no commander, no overseer or ruler, yet it stores its

provisions in summer and gathers its food at harvest. How long

will you lie there, you sluggard? When will you get up from your

sleep?" (Proverbs 6:6-9)

5. Relationships "A righteous man is cautious in friendship, but

the way of the wicked leads them astray" (Proverbs 12:26).

6. Sexual purity "Do not lust in your heart after her beauty or let

her captivate you with her eyes, for the prostitute reduces you to

a loaf of bread, and the adulteress preys upon your very life ...

Can a man walk on hot coals without his feet being scorched?"

(Proverbs 6:25-26, 28)

7. Money "Whoever trusts in riches will fall, but the righteous

will thrive like a green leaf" (Proverbs 11:28).

8. Parents "Listen to your father, who gave you life, and do not

despise your mother when she is old ... May your father and

mother be glad; may she who gave you birth rejoice!" (Proverbs

23:22, 25)

9. Compassion "He who is kind to the poor lends to the Lord,

and He will reward him for what he has done" (Proverbs 19:17).

10. The future

"There is surely a future hope for you, and your hope will not be

cut off" (Proverbs 23:18).
