Talk: How To Fight Like A Christian

Recently I did a Sunday Night talk titled "How To Fight........Like A Christian".

I see in youth culture today, youth not really knowing how to deal with eachother in the face of a disagreement or argument. The Bible is pretty clear on this (imagine that) Hope this is a great discussion starter for you.

I am uploading (click here to download the Keynote)the original Keynote with notes. I am also attaching a .PPT file for use on PowerPoint (here to download the .PPT). This presentation runs about 12-15 minutes, and clearly outlines what the Bible has to say about how we as Christians are to deal with each other in the face of a "disagreement".

It should preload with the "Rocky" theme song in the background. makes for a nice touch.

Corporate Sponsors Fundraiser

This fundraiser allows students to write donation requests to businesses for mission trips.  This takes very litle work.  Generally, we have students come to the church with five to ten business names and then do it right at the church so that we can keep up with what students sent letters where.  These forms should be all you need to have a successful fundraiser.
