This Sunday the MS/HS classes will be meeting together as our MS teachers will all be traveling.
Next Wednesday, September 6, is VA Hospital day.
Let me know if you can help drive. Meet at Lorna (that will be short for Lorna Rd. building) at 5:30. We will return to Lorna by 7:30.
Just a reminder that there is a meeting for all MS/HS students/parents on Sunday, September 10. Details are still being worked out. We will be talking about schedules, events, passing around sign-up sheets, etc., etc. I am xcited to share with all of you some of my heart about the ministry here and I am also anxious for you to share with me .

In HS class on Sunday AM, we continued the discussion on encouragement begun in the worship. Want to know what our high schoolers say encourages them?
(in no particular order)
- Words of encouragement: spoken, cards, letters. (especially when said by that "somebody special")
- Seeing the success of others around them
- When people around them agree with their thinking (affirmation that they aren't crazy for what they think)
- Good food
- Playing sports
- Seeing hard work pay off (scoring well on a test after studying hard)
- Being with others that have a lot of energy
- Music
- Just being with friends
- Of course, Jesus
Here are some of the things they will be doing to give encouragement to others this week:
- Talk to (name left off to protect the innocent) more
- Compliment friends
- Get real about some things with a friend
- Include others that don't seem to have many friends
- Help some friends with Chemistry
- Help others in sports
- Write anonymous letters to 3 friends
- Write (name left off to protect the innocent) a note
- Call friends sometime this week
- Tlak to someone at school I don't usually talk to
- Write all my friends a note
- Help someone in need this week
Remember.... it's always good to do good!
Mark your calendars for September 10th. We will have a meeting to share fall happenings with everyone. Details TBA.
Welcome to the new DF Student blog. This will be the place that you can stay up on all the happenings and goings on with the students here at DF. Look for class updates, calendar updates, student profiles, food for thought, and just about anything else that may relate to any and all of our middle school/high school students. Please call the church at 823-0288 or my cell (call the church for the number as I don't think I want to send it out over the net) if you need me for anything.
