Divorce Support Group Training
Saturday, February 10th at the Dalton Gardens Church of Christ, Small Auditorium, 11:00-3:00.
Guest Speakers: Laura Cartwright LMSW and Errol Arford LMSW
Why should I help with the divorce support group? Divorce tears down, devastates, and shows little mercy to those involved. If you can relate to the issues that arise because of divorce then you can help in this ministry. We are not asking for you to come with all the answers but with a heart of service and compassion. Training will be provided along with substantial support. Please consider participating in this great outreach ministry. Guest Speakers, Laura Cartwright LMSW and Errol Arford LMSW are local therapists with extensive knowledge and expertise in working with adults and children trying to deal with the effects of divorce. Ian Bradshaw and Margie Waddell will be facilitating the training and will be available to answer questions.

Shepherd's Corner...

Pacifistically? by Dan DuPey

What is this? Who would have thought that this word would be pulled? Tuesday night was Coeur d'Alene Christian School's FIRST hosted Spelling Bee. Several private schools were represented in an evening of encouragement and battle of words. Amelia Nelson battled with former CCS student, Peyton Bowen, round after round in the fifth grade contest. Peyton finally won the long lasting event while Amelia claimed 2nd place. Jennifer Rude, who judged this event, said they went through 65 words before the contest ended. Dillon Dunteman, a 4th grader from Holy Family Catholic School, won with the word "pacifistically". This word correctly defined the way to win your battles (peacefully). We also want to thank all those who volunteered to help out for the evening: Teri DuPey and Lynelle Dehlbom; Arrty and Jennifer Rude; Linda Bruner and Jessica Bruner; Dave and Terri Johnson; Mary Petersen and Kathy Taylor; Debbie Yanzick and Carrie Forbush; Jamie Bradshaw, Marci Nelson, Georgette Rude, Nancy Hite, and Sandra Welch. Thank-you! Thank-you! Over 150 parents and students turned out for the event!

This seemed to also define our evening of encouragement and great fellowship with one another. Christ was exposed in our attitudes towards one another. Certainly, this is something that we as leaders want to continue to emphasize! As we greet one another, always remember this important point. Paul reminds us in Galatians 2:20 that we have been "crucified with Christ yet it is not I, but Christ living in me......" It is so important for all of us to have this Christ-like attitude! It promotes this idea of a "place to belong". It encourages participation, action, and a more willing desire to spread the Good News! Over 150 parents and students turned out for the event!

Teen Scene...

Teens, how many of you know what it means to "Stand in awe"? We sing a popular song of praise with those words contained within the lyrics. Does it simply mean to stand up? In this usage stand means basically a position or a state of being. It has nothing to do with physically standing. We are making the statement that we are totally in awe of our god. We sing many other songs with a similar reference. The God we serve is absolutely awesome and we should be totally captivated by his presence in our lives. To be in this state however we need to know Him. And the best way to do that is to spend time alone with Him. You all need to spend some quiet time with Him in prayer and study. The more you get to know your Lord the more you will understand what it means to "Stand in awe" of him. -Scott

	A New Ministry
	A New Ministry

	Everyday this building fills up with children; everyday there is a buzz of activities in the walls of our church building. Songs of praise ring out of the auditorium, giggles can be heard in the halls and the Bible is taught in every classroom. We are entrusted with their care and nurture them in His loving care daily. The Lord has blessed us at Dalton Gardens so generously. We all know the Lord expects us grow these talents and blessings, not to bury them. CCS is a prime opportunity to do this. We do not have to go into the world…it is coming to us in the form of the families at CCS! We already have a foundation with these parents to build relationships through the school. Our parents are concerned with their children’s spirituality and are already primed to speak about God. The Lord has paved the way through the presence of the school. All we have to do is build relationships and share the Gospel. This ministry is not just aimed at raising money for the school, it is much deeper than that. We are trying to connect with these families and show them the love of the Lord, and support group we have at Dalton Gardens. We want to give these families a PLACE TO BELONG! Look at our bulletin board in the foyer or See Ian or Jamie Bradshaw for a sign up sheet.
