Rally In The Valley...THIS Friday-Saturday!!!

I hope everyone's getting excited for Rally in the Valley this weekend in Clemson. You can expect to see a HUGE crowd of teenagers all worshipping with Pastor Ken Scrubbs and The Dave Odom Band as well as a football game that probably won't be nearly as exciting as the rally!!! As all of you know, the rally is starting earlier than expected Saturday morning and therefore we will be leaving Friday afternoon at 5 pm from the church. We will be staying at Wayne's family mountain house, so be sure to tell them THANK YOU!!! Here's a general schedule for the weekend and what you need to bring (& NOT bring!!!)...

Schedule
Friday
5pm Leave the church for Clemson, we will eat dinner on the road
10pm Arrive in Clemson, get settled in for the night

Saturday
9:30 am Rally begins in Littlejohn Coliseum
12:00pm GAMETIME!!!
4:00 pm Leave Clemson
9-10pm Arrive in Conway
What to Bring
*Clothes for cool weather that will be comfortable to walk in
*All necessary toiletries
*Sleeping Bag, pillow
*Towel
*Bible...for your quiet time Saturday morning!!!
*Money for 3 fast food meals (dinner Fri, dinner Sat, possible breakfast Sat)
*Any spending money for extras you would like at the game
*A good attitude!!!!
What NOT to Bring
*Anything Gamecock...I'm not saying to wear orange...just not burgundy!!!
*Anything banned by the ATF....the bureau of alcohol, tobacco and firearms
*A bad attitude!!!

Hope this helps everyone prepare for the weekend. Please remember that built into your cost was a t-shirt from the rally and a meal ticket for lunch inside the stadium. Souvenirs inside the stadium are expensive and there may or may not be time for shopping downtown...so I wouldn't suggest bringing a whole lot of extra money. I hope everyone's getting excited!!!

Just for Parents

I realized not to long ago that I was doing half of my job. I was serving the students and dropping the ball with the parents so I dove in head first to help the parents. Below I am going to list some parent helps and resources. I will only post things that I have reviewed personally. If you have something you would recommend let me know I'll review and then add it to the list.

Magazines: Living with Teenagers: You can find this resource in the Welcome center magazine rack. The best part is it's free please take one... no take two and give one away.

Books: When it comes to books I have never been much of a reader, but out of submission to profs and well mostly submission to profs I have read these books and found them to be great resources for parents.

Peacemaking for Families by Ken Sande: Are you looking for a way to resolve conflict in your family. Here is a great biblical model for such as task.

Shepherding a Child's Heart by Tedd Tripp: An excellent book on raising a child from cradle to college. Trust me you can use this book even if you are getting a late start.

Come Back Barbara by John Miller and Barbara Miller Juliani: A book on dealing with a child that has walked away from there faith and how to love them through it. This book is written from two points of view the parent and the child. It helps the reader remember every story has two sides.

Age of Opportunity by Paul David Tripp: This book is focused on the teen years of child rearing. It is a call to parents to seize the chance to impact their lives from a Biblical standpoint.

When Good kids make Bad choices by Elyse Fitzpatrick and Jim Newheiser: At some time or another you might have heard someone make this remark. This is a book about how to deal with a child's poor choice, love them as they work through the challenge, and focus them back toward Christ.

Family Driven Faith by Voddie Baucham: Reader beware!!! This book will step on your toes no matter who you are. An excellent work on the family and the importance of Godly principles and leadership starting in the home.

Pamphlets: My kind of reading short, sweet, and to the point.

Single Parents: Daily Grace for the hardest job by Robert Jones: A short work on the life and issues that are present in a Single Parent family. Jones tackles this topic from the Biblical standpoint.
