2^nd Announcements – February 23, 2010

News:

1. Talent show is this Friday!
2. Rehearsal for the talent show is after school today in the lunch room
3. Think about the comments you say to people today, are they loving?  If not ask yourself what is the need to be anything but loving toward them.

Verse: 2 Peter 3-9 (The Message)

3-4Everything that goes into a life of pleasing God has been miraculously given to us by getting to know, personally and intimately, the One who invited us to God. The best invitation we ever received! We were also given absolutely terrific promises to pass on to you—your tickets to participation in the life of God after you turned your back on a world corrupted by lust.

5-9So don’t lose a minute in building on what you’ve been given, complementing your basic faith with good character, spiritual understanding, alert discipline, passionate patience, reverent wonder, warm friendliness, and generous love, each dimension fitting into and developing the others. With these qualities active and growing in your lives, no grass will grow under your feet, no day will pass without its reward as you mature in your experience of our Master Jesus. Without these qualities you can’t see what’s right before you, oblivious that your old sinful life has been wiped off the books.

Quote: “Being a Christian is more than just an instantaneous conversion – it is a daily process whereby you grow to be more and more like Christ.”  - Billy Graham

Prayer request:  Take a few minutes in class and ask for requests…pray for those as well as the continued growth of our students in Christ.

We have seen his glory, the glory of the One and Only, who came from the Father, full of grace and truth.”-

Quote: “The irony is that while God doesn’t need us but still wants us, we desperately need God but don’t really want Him most of the time. ” — Francis Chan

³⁴“A new command I give you: Love one another. As I have loved you, so you must love one another. ³⁵By this all men will know that you are my disciples, if you love one another.”

Quote: “What will people say about your life in heaven? Will people speak of God’s work and glory through you? And even more important, how will you answer the King when He says, “What did you do with what I gave you?” Daniel Webster once said, “The greatest thought that has ever entered my mind is that one day I will have to stand before a holy God and give an account of my life.” He was right.”

- Francis Chan, Crazy Love, p.174
