Nov. Teaching Series
November is a time of thanksgiving, we all know that. It is a time to be with our families and eat a lot of good food, and of course watch some football. This month we will focus on the idea of "Give Thanks" for the Lord is good. We will challenge you to think about what the Lord has blessed you with and what He has done in your life. We will also look at a comparison to us here in Decatur compared to those around the world. At the end of the month as we start to go in to December we will pray about a way we can share our blessings with others who are less fortunate. Lets count our blessings!!! And Give Thanks!!

Silver Ring Thing Info
Dear Parents,
I wanted to take the time to tell you about an opportunity we have for our students to team up with Silver Ring Thing. Several of the youth pastors from all over the county and First Priority of Greater Decatur have made available this ministry to come to our area. Silver Ring Thing will be in three school assemblies: Hartselle High, Austin High and Priceville High. On October 5, at 7pm at Cave Spring Baptist Church, Silver Ring Thing will be challenging our students to live a life of abstinence and purity. We will be leaving the church at 5:45 pm.
What is Silver Ring Thing ?
The Silver Ring Thing is a unique para-church youth ministry that promotes the message of purity and abstinence until marriage using two avenues.
1.An intense Live Event
"to motivate, educate, support and transform generations of young people to embrace a lifestyle of Christ-centered sexual
abstinence until marriage."
"to create a culture shift in America where abstinence becomes the norm again rather than the exception."
2. A youth/small group film event resource called Project 434.
SRT's 2-2.5 hour stage performance incorporates high energy music, special effects, fast-paced video, personal testimonies,
and comedy all delivered in a concert-style approach with which teenagers can respond and relate. The program also presents
an evangelistic message focused on forgiveness and second chances with a challenge to start over from past mistakes.
Students who make a commitment to purity may purchase a silver ring as a symbol and reminder of their decision. After each
event, students who make this commitment are followed-up by SRT staff with emails and text messages that encourage and
equip them in their commitment. This event is designed for teenagers but is also relevant to college and young adult ages. A
parent's session is also held at each event to educate parents about what is happening in today's youth culture and how they
can encourage and support their child's commitment to wait.
We are also encouraging parents to be a part of this night. At the beginning of each Live Event, there is a parent's session that will inform parents about the real attitudes and behaviors of today's youth culture and will instruct parents on how to support their child's commitment to purity. This session offers timeless answers and foundational truths for parents who want the best for their children. Following this session, all parents are then encouraged to attend the remainder of the Live Silver Ring Thing Event and witness the transforming effect this program has on student’s lives.
The session covers the role of parents in the abstinence decision.
What is SRT, how did it start, and why it is so effective with teenagers
The risks and consequences of STDs and teen pregnancy in America
A plan to shift the culture in America where abstinence becomes the norm again
Nine ways to support your teenager’s abstinence decision
Follow-up support materials for parents to take home including NEXT: Equipping Parents to Lead… Inspiring a Generation to Wait
We will need help in driving students to the event. If you can help, it would be very appreciated. Attached is a card for you to complete and sign if you can help drive that night. On the same card, you can sign up your student for the event. Please return the card by September 21.
I highly encourage all our students and parents to be a part of this event. Sex and purity matters are a real issue with our teens. Research has shown that even fourth graders are now exposed to these temptations. It is up to you to make sure your children know and understand where God stands on these issues. I also understand that you know your child a lot better than I do, so we are going to provide activities at THERefuge the same night for those that may not be ready for this event.
| Research shows that parents have more impact on their child's sexual decision making than any other Influence - including that child's peers! Parents are the primary sex educator in their child's life and play the 'KEY' role in influencing behaviors and attitudes. But what do you say, and when? How do you raise a standard in your home while the rest of the world is trying to tear it down? | |||
| The Silver Ring Thing is preparing your child to make a commitment to sexual abstinence until marriage. The symbol of that commitment will be a silver ring worn until your son or daughter's wedding day. But how will they navigate the next five to ten years of sexual pressure? Is there something you can do to help strengthen this commitment with values and conviction that will last a lifetime? At SRT, we will do all we can to help your child make and keep this commitment, but parents must take an active role to make a lasting difference. | |||
| Why a Ring? We don't believe a silver ring makes students pure any more than a wedding ring makes someone married. However, a ring serves as a constant symbol and reminder of a commitment made before God to honor His will for our lives. Students wear a ring because they are waiting... BUT RINGS ARE NOT JUST FOR STUDENTS. Parents are also strongly encouraged to wear a ring as a reminder to PRAY for their child, for his/her future spouse, and for their own personal purity and integrity. To purchase a ring visit www.silverringthing.com. If you decide to purchase a ring for your student, please make sure you give enough time to order before the event. You also have the option of ordering at the event.

If you have any questions about this event please do not hesitate to contact me.

Day 6 Romania 2011
Heather shared the gospel with two groups as well I was so proud of her.
Dana and the other group went to the Gypsie village down the road it was very unruling. The seed was planted. The local pastors hope to start a church in that area in the future, we had to gain permission from the mayor and this was huge.The rain was not too bad people still came out.
The picture is in the school where we were sharing the gospel.
