News You Can UseThe Edge Youth Ministry is about to get their own place to hang out and have fun. The final building is in the last stages of completion. We are accepting donations of money, gift cards, volunteer labor and various supplies. To date we have received lumber, carpeting, an air conditioner, a pool table, a ping-pong table and some carpentry materials. Join the construction party! What can you donate? Help make the new facility take on The Edge's own personality. Contact the church for further details. 570.489.8321Verse of the Month"My dear brother, take note of this: everyone should be quick to listen, slow to speak and slow to become angry, for man's anger does not bring about the righteous life that God desires." James 1:9-20 (NIV) This is great advice in dealing with any circumstance. In today's society though, it seems this verse does not apply within the confines of the family unit. It is easy to quickly respond with programmed responses such as "Because I am the parent!", or "You just don't understand...you are just unreasonable!" Have you ever thought that if we took God's advice by responding to our family like James states, we would have much better communication in our homes? If we would just be quick to listen, this would eliminate a lot of disagreements that happen on a daily basis. The next conversation you have with someone in your family, remember to listen, think before speaking, and keep your cool. The outcome of this conversation will be refreshing, uplifting, and honoring to each other and to our Lord. Focus on Prayer1. Pray for the Carbondale Area High School Teens coming to Christ.2.
