“The Talk” for teens

I’m excited that this weekend, our Student Ministries team will begin a new teaching series titled “The Talk”.  I’m proud of Darius and Jeremiah for being willing to tackle such a tough subject in order to equip teens to live a life of purity.  This will be a honest, appropriate look at what God has to say to our students about sex and how they can honor God in this area of their life.  As a parent, I’m thankful to have a church that is reinforcing what we’re teaching our children at home.  You can bet I will make sure my son will be at THE SPOT for every week of “The Talk”!  for more info go to www.pvcstudents.com Check out the promo video…

PVC — An Opportunity to show Christ!

Palm Valley Church,

We have an incredible opportunity once again to help out the homeless children at Lattie Coor Elementary. All the children will be going on their spring break by the end of next week and I am sure everyone has in mind what kids normally do on spring break-sleep in, watch tv, go to the movies, go shopping at the mall, eat at In-N-Out twice a day, etc. However, the school is currently receiving homeless children EVERY day and those kids are able to receive food from government programs while they are at school and the nurse is able to provide some clothes and toiletries items while they are at school, but on spring break they have none of those options. Proverbs 31:8 says, “Speak up for those who cannot speak for themselves”. The kids at Lattie Coor Elementary have no voice but they are in need. We have a chance to help these kids experience God’s love and grace through your generous hearts here at Palm Valley Church.

We have a list of 46 students who are in need of basic items from clothes to toiletries, if you would like to help give these kids a voice by “sponsoring” a child we will provide the list of what that child needs for you to purchase, if you can’t afford to sponsor a child but want to donate a few items we are looking for personal hygiene products…

• toothbrushes
• toothpaste
• combs and brushes
• soap, shampoo, conditioner, deodorant.

You can stop by the office to drop off the items and/or pick up the list for what a child needs, you can also pick up a list from Pastor Mark Grochocki at the resource kiosk this weekend. All items need to be delivered by Wednesday, March 9th so that they can receive the items before they go on Spring Break. Thank you so much for being a generous church! Deuteronomy 15:10 says, “Give generously to the poor, not grudgingly, for the Lord your God will bless you in everything you do.”

Yep, that’s what I said!

Verses about Peace

Here are the verses about peace I read this past weekend:

John 14:27
“I am leaving you with a gift – peace of mind and heart! And the peace I give isn’t fragile like the peace the world gives. So don’t be troubled or afraid.”

Isaiah 26:3
“You will keep in perfect peace all who trust in you, all whose thoughts are fixed on you!”

Matthew 11:28-2
“Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls.”9

1 Peter 5:7
“Cast all your anxiety on him because he cares for you.”

Matthew 6:25-27
“So I tell you, don’t worry about everyday life– whether you have enough food, drink, and clothes. Doesn’t life consist of more than food and clothing? Look at the birds. They don’t need to plant or harvest or put food in barns because your heavenly Father feeds them. And you are far more valuable to Him than they are. Can all your worries add a single moment to your life? Of course not.”

Psalm 46:10a
“Be still, and know that I am God…”

Philippians 4:6-7
“Don’t worry about anything; instead, pray about everything. Tell God what you need, and thank him for all he has done.7 Then you will experience God’s peace, which exceeds anything we can understand. His peace will guard your hearts and minds as you live in Christ Jesus.”

Psalm 23:1-6
“The Lord is my shepherd, I shall not be in want. He makes me lie down in green pastures, he leads me beside quiet waters, he restores my soul. He guides me in paths of righteousness for his name’s sake. Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for you are with me; your rod and your staff, they comfort me. You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies. You anoint my head with oil; my cup overflows. Surely goodness and love will follow me all the days of my life, and I will dwell in the house of the Lord forever.”

Scriptures on Peace

This weekend I closed the message by reading Scriptures that have helped me deal with stress. For your peace, here they are…

“I am leaving you with a gift– peace of mind and heart! And
the peace I give isn’t fragile like the peace the world gives. So
don’t be troubled or afraid.” John 14:27

“Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. [29] Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls.” Matthew 11:28-29

“Cast all your anxiety on him because he cares for you.”
1 Peter 5:7

“So I tell you, don’t worry about everyday life– whether you have enough food, drink, and clothes. Doesn’t life consist of more than food and clothing? Look at the birds.
