Boys

Please pray for us because we want the presence of the Lord to show up in everything that is said and done that evening. I look forward to seeing you there!

Quotes from the top essays:
“When I read the quote by Martin Luther King Jr. I thought of my mom and dad. They teach a Sunday School class for kids with disabilities. Martin Luther King, Jr., wrote, “Everybody has an opportunity to be great because everyone has an opportunity to serve.” My mom and dad may not be great in other people’s eyes, but they are great in God’s eyes because they serve Him…. You don’t need to do super hero things to be great. All you have to do is serve.” – Becca Willis

“What I learned about the quote, “When one helps another, both gain in strength” is that when I help someone, I also help myself because when I do a good deed, I feel good about myself.” I like to take the time to help others. When I help my mom, she thanks me and says I saved her some time. We both feel happy. I also learned that when I help someone, they appreciate it and we both ended up feeling good about each other.” - Blake Ayemoba

“People today do not think about what they say or do, it just comes out and sometimes they end up getting hurt for the things they say…. At home we may have done something to make our parents angry and/or disappointed with us, like misbehaving or not doing our chores. Even though they may have yelled at us or punished us, we need to remember that they are doing this out of love and to help us become responsible adults.” - Jenay Israel

“Sometimes I don’t realize how much impact there is on people when you say something to them. Even if you just say “I like your outfit” it makes people feel good about them.” …So it makes me ask myself, “Am I making people feel good or bad by what I am about to say them to?? How will my comment affect them? It makes me think I should pay more attention to what I am saying to anyone before I just speak my mind.” - Rebekah Lunsford


Both Jayda and Rebekah used the quote from Maya Angelou: “I’ve learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel.”
