Stress and Students
This isn't the first time we've posted on "stress and students," but the topic continues to receive attention because the level of stress encountered in teenagers' lives, coupled with their responses which are increasing in both volume and danger, seems to be growing daily. Click on the link to here what panelists for the New York Times have to say about the growing dilemma and how to address it: http://www.nytimes.com/roomfordebate/2010/12/12/stress-and-the-high-school-student?hp

Information on BIG December Events
We have an Advent season loaded with BIG events and here's your one-stop location to find all the details you need!
Saturday, December 4th, 4-8pm
Kids' Night with Saint Nick
Hosted by the FBCJC Youth, this event has a twofold purpose: (1) to introduce children of our community to the rich legacy of Saint Nicholas this Advent season, and (2) to offer a "night off" for parents to go Christmas shopping, go on a date, take a nap, etc. The night will include games, pizza, a movie, and more, and it's all completely FREE for the families of our community.
Youth should be here by 3:30pm on Saturday to help prepare and they will be done no later than 8:30pm (clean-up) - they will be fed dinner, too.
If you would also like to help us (we can always use more adult help!), just let Dave know or just show up on Saturday!
Friday, December 10th, Time TBA
Dinner and a Movie: The Voyage of the Dawn Treader
We will be heading out for dinner and a movie to see the third in C.S. Lewis' Narnian series, The Voyage of the Dawn Treader (my personal favorite!). If youth would like to go with us, they will need to let Dave know no later than Sunday, December 5th, so he can pre-order tickets. Tickets are $10 and you can pay them on the night we go. Youth will also need to bring $5-$8 for dinner. We will be eating and dining in Turkey Creek in West Knoxville. At the moment, the exact times are not set, but we will likely be leaving around 4:30pm and returning by 11pm. More specific times will be announced once they are set.
Wednesday, December 22nd, Time TBA
Bowling 4 Jesus!
Our annual "Bowling 4 Jesus" event gives youth a chance to raise money for the Global Missions Offering, collected annually at FBCJC. Students are encouraged to pick up a "pledge sheet" and get donations/pledges for their bowling that night. Students' own contribution to the offering is by paying for their own bowling (approximately $12, exact prices will be announced when they are set) and collecting donations/pledges. Pledge sheets can be picked up outside of Rm. 214 at FBCJC.
