			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>Key #2   Family Devotions and Prayer</strong><br />
The first step in developing a rich family devotional life is to cultivate ways of listening to God. God’s primary way of speaking to us is through his Word. As we dust off our Bibles and put them to use in our daily lives, we hear Him speaking to us and experience Him working within and amongst us.</p>
<p>Here are some ways to weave family prayer and devotion into your days:</p>
<ul>
<li>Select a family Bible verse for each week—perhaps one from  Sunday’s readings. Print it off for each family member to carry with them each day. Write it on your bathroom mirror!  Read it together during dinner.</li>
<li>Decide on some set devotional times—up to 15 minutes twice a week when you can come together as a family to read the Bible and pray.</li>
<li>For families with young children, a Bible story at bedtime is eagerly anticipated!</li>
<li>Play Christian music in your car and home—so much of this music is based on actual Bible verses –point these out to your kids.</li>
<li>Set up a prayer board with photos of  persons to pray for.</li>
<li>Begin a family prayer journal  &#8211; a record of prayer points and answers to prayer.</li>
<li>Use the “Five Finger Prayer” with younger children.</li>
<li>Teach the A.C.T.S. prayer “method” to older children (adoration, confession, thanksgiving, supplication)</li>
<li>When conflicts arise—retitle your “Time outs” to “Begin agains” and refocus the attention on grace and starting over!</li>
<li>Take annual pictures of your children at the Baptismal font and talk about how much they’ve grown as a child of God.</li>
</ul>
<p>Jenny will talk with us about key #3 on Sunday, May 20th at 10am.  Hope to see you all there!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Update Thursday, May 17</p>
<p>Wednesday night we had dinner with the Habitat volunteer board. Sitting at a huge farm under a pavilion looking out over the pond watching our students paddle around in a canoe and paddle boat, I thought this is the life! But we found out that Garret County with the massive houses over Deep Creek lake, and the many farms and windmills from whichever way you look, is the poorest county in MD. This makes helping with Habitat very meaningful.</p>
<p>Jerry, the President of this local Habitat has been on site with us each day. He claims we are the group they count on to get the house roofs on each year because of the strength we bring. Their average volunteer is in his/her sixties. This makes it difficult to lift and hang the 23 trusses as well as huge sheet boards. We are able to jump-start this program for their other summer volunteers.</p>
<p>What a cool way God has planned to time things so that our college age students can make a difference in this awesome community at this perfect time.</p>
<p>Kim</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><span style="font-family: tahoma,sans-serif;">Looking back over the last 5 years of coordinating the post high school mission trips, there seems to be a common theme. The students that have been involved in CPC as young missionaries make SUPER missionaries as adults. God truly is a part of each one of these students lives. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: tahoma,sans-serif;">Interaction with adults (many elderly), with the area churches, and with HABITAT team members is always positive.  Manners and habits groomed from parents and Sharon Hoover&#8217;s (CPC student Ministry Director) superb mission training makes them awesome team mates. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: tahoma,sans-serif;">Seeing God in so many young adults gives a parent <strong>HOPE</strong> for our future.</span></p>
<p>Kim Gilbert</p>
<p><span style="font-family: tahoma,sans-serif;">Are you interested in seeing God with our college students for 2013 team? Contact <a href="mailto:kim@centrevillepres.com" target="_blank">kim@centrevillepres.com</a></span></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>“Don’t feed the dog from the table.”<br />
“Take smaller bites.”<br />
“Eat your broccoli.”</p>
<p>A new class for parents at CPC gives us the tools to have dinner talks with our kids that are a lot more meaningful.  It is titled “Homegrown Faith: The Four Keys to Growing Faith at Home” and is taught by Jenny Cudahy, who references years of parenting her three sons ( ages 13, 17 and 20 ) as well as her extensive experience in ministry.</p>
<p>Last Sunday, Jenny spoke on the topic of nurturing faith by having caring conversations with our kids.  She gave practical tips for connecting with our babies up through our college age young adults.  Here are a couple references she recommended:</p>
<ul>
<li>Food for Talk Cards – from <a href="http://www.foodfortalk.net">www.foodfortalk.net</a></li>
<li>“Grace Before Meals: Recipes and Inspiration for Family Meals and Family Life” available at amazon.com</li>
</ul>
<p>As a class, we spoke about weaving our own faith more intentionally into our children’s lives.  We can be so busy trying to fit everything in that we miss the everyday “moments of wonder”.</p>
<p>Hope you can join us next week at 10am in room 204 to discuss weaving devotions in prayer into our busy lives!</p>

<p><strong>1. SOMETHING FOR YOUR HEART</strong></p>
<p><a href="http://youthspecialties.us1.list-manage.com/track/click?u=af5742699a583e671b94078e9&amp;id=82294556da&amp;e=1ed9ae2945" target="_blank">Titus Tell ‘Em: Do Good Already</a></p>
<p>&#8220;Remind the people to be subject to rulers and authorities, to be obedient, to be ready to do whatever is good, to slander no one, to be peaceable and considerate, and to show true humility toward all men.&#8221; (Titus 3:1-2)</p>
<p>Titus was a missionary and pastor on the island of Crete. It&#8217;s a gorgeous looking place, judging by the pictures I&#8217;ve seen online. It&#8217;s a big, sunny Greek island with beautiful beaches and rocky cliffs and mountains that get snow in the winter.</p>
<p>Apparently, it was also a hard place to be a Christian. Even Paul confirmed the reputation of the culture there: &#8220;Cretans are always liars, evil brutes, lazy gluttons.&#8221; He wanted the Cretan Christians to stand out for being the opposite of that &#8212; to live like they really believed God&#8217;s Word is true.</p>
<p>Today&#8217;s verses bullet-point some action items for all Christians, including us non-Cretans: Obey authorities, don&#8217;t talk mean about people, think of others, make peace, don&#8217;t make it all about you &#8212; no matter who you&#8217;re talking to.</p>
<p>Come back this week to find out why it matters how we live.</p>
<p><strong>Think:</strong> How would you stand apart from your friends or peers if you lived the way these two verses describe? Would people think you strange if you were obedient and respectful to authorities like teachers, parents, and the law of the land? Why or why not?</p>
<p><strong>Pray:</strong> Ask God to help you to &#8220;be subject to rulers and authorities, to be obedient, to be ready to do whatever is good, to slander no one, to be peaceable and considerate, and to show true humility toward all men.&#8221;</p>
<p><strong>Do:</strong> Go to Crete, and lay on a beach while you really think about this book. Or read a little about the <a href="http://youthspecialties.us1.list-manage2.com/track/click?u=af5742699a583e671b94078e9&amp;id=8c3fe633d0&amp;e=1ed9ae2945" target="_blank">biblical history of the island</a>.

<p><strong>Pray:</strong> Ask God to help you to &#8220;be subject to rulers and authorities, to be obedient, to be ready to do whatever is good, to slander no one, to be peaceable and considerate, and to show true humility toward all men.&#8221;</p>
<p><strong>Do:</strong> Go to Crete, and lay on a beach while you really think about this book. Or read a little about the <a href="http://youthspecialties.us1.list-manage2.com/track/click?u=af5742699a583e671b94078e9&amp;id=8c3fe633d0&amp;e=1ed9ae2945" target="_blank">biblical history of the island</a>.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>Middle School Ministry Updates, 5.7.2012</strong></p>
<p><strong>Announcements….</strong></p>
<p><strong>The Great Escape.</strong>  On Monday, May 7 from 7-8 p.m. we&#8217;ll have a meeting for all students participating in the middle school summer conference.   At least one parent from each family needs to join them.  Our agenda includes packing list, daily schedule, Q &amp; A and &#8220;free choice&#8221; afternoon decision.</p>
<p><strong>Rita&#8217;s.  </strong>Every Tuesday in May from 6-8 p.m., the Sully Station Rita&#8217;s will donate 25% of their proceeds to the Summer Mission Teams.  Cool off and support the Mission Teams in a delicious way!</p>
<p><strong>North Carolina Mission Team.</strong>  Our first Training Session is coming up on Monday, May 14, from 7 p.m. to 8:30 p.m.  The next one will be on Monday, June 4, from 7 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. All team members need to attend.</p>
<p><strong>CrossRoads.  </strong>Mark your calendars! Our large group ministry for 6th-8th graders, CrossRoads, will be meeting on Sunday, May 20 from 6-7:30 p.m.   Bring friends and your appetite for this full evening of games, faith messages, building relationships, and food.  Taco Night!</p>
<p><strong>Middle School Sunday School. </strong>Be connected with one another!  We would love to see all 6th-8th grade middle school students from 10-10:45 a.m. in room 206D.  We will continue with &#8220;The Way I&#8217;m Wired,&#8221; helping us discover who God made us to be.</p>

<p><strong>1. SOMETHING FOR YOUR HEART</strong></p>
<p><a href="http://youthspecialties.us1.list-manage.com/track/click?u=af5742699a583e671b94078e9&amp;id=82294556da&amp;e=1ed9ae2945" target="_blank">Titus Tell ‘Em: Do Good Already</a></p>
<p>&#8220;Remind the people to be subject to rulers and authorities, to be obedient, to be ready to do whatever is good, to slander no one, to be peaceable and considerate, and to show true humility toward all men.&#8221; (Titus 3:1-2)</p>
<p>Titus was a missionary and pastor on the island of Crete. It&#8217;s a gorgeous looking place, judging by the pictures I&#8217;ve seen online. It&#8217;s a big, sunny Greek island with beautiful beaches and rocky cliffs and mountains that get snow in the winter.</p>
<p>Apparently, it was also a hard place to be a Christian. Even Paul confirmed the reputation of the culture there: &#8220;Cretans are always liars, evil brutes, lazy gluttons.&#8221; He wanted the Cretan Christians to stand out for being the opposite of that &#8212; to live like they really believed God&#8217;s Word is true.</p>
<p>Today&#8217;s verses bullet-point some action items for all Christians, including us non-Cretans: Obey authorities, don&#8217;t talk mean about people, think of others, make peace, don&#8217;t make it all about you &#8212; no matter who you&#8217;re talking to.</p>
<p>Come back this week to find out why it matters how we live.</p>
<p><strong>Think:</strong> How would you stand apart from your friends or peers if you lived the way these two verses describe? Would people think you strange if you were obedient and respectful to authorities like teachers, parents, and the law of the land? Why or why not?</p>

<p><strong>Transition Seminar for Class of 2012.</strong> To equip our graduates in their upcoming transition to post-high school life, we host the Spring seminar on Sunday mornings, May 6 &#8211; June 10 at 10 a.m. &#8211; 10:45 a.m.  It will give students tools as they move into their new phase of life. Topics include: empowering friendships, excelling academically, dating relationships, growing spiritually, connecting with your church and your family.

<p><strong>Life Groups.</strong> Our student-led small groups for high school students meet on Sunday mornings in room 206C (10-10:45 a.m.). The conversations make faith relevant amidst the craziness of life. April 22 we will begin &#8220;The Kingdom Experiment&#8221;.

<p><strong>1. SOMETHING FOR YOUR HEART</strong></p>
<p><a href="http://youthspecialties.us1.list-manage1.com/track/click?u=af5742699a583e671b94078e9&amp;id=07cf30a85e&amp;e=1ed9ae2945" target="_blank">Fear v. God: Safe and Strong</a></p>
<p>&#8220;God is our refuge and strength, an ever-present help in trouble.&#8221; (Psalm 46:1)</p>
<div>
<p>When you&#8217;re 18, you might laugh at what used to terrify you when you were 8. And by the time you turn 28, the fears of your 18-year-old self might seem kind of silly, too. What doesn&#8217;t change is that there is always something to be afraid of or worried about.</p>
<p>It&#8217;s not that the things that scare us don&#8217;t matter. Many of them are real. The world is a dangerous place with lots of things that go wrong all of them time. But there&#8217;s another thing that doesn&#8217;t change no matter how old we get: God is bigger than everything that scares us.</p>
<p>That&#8217;s what we&#8217;re going to study from Psalm 46 this week. God is our safe place &#8212; the refuge in which we&#8217;re untouchable. He&#8217;s our strength &#8212; stronger than any danger &#8212; and he&#8217;s ready to help in every moment.</p>
<p>To belong to a God like that should make our fear less powerful. Does it? Come back tomorrow.</p>
<p><strong>Think: </strong>In the battle between faith in a huge God and fear of terrible things, which one usually wins in your heart? What kinds of things do you do to help or hurt either side?</p>
<p><strong>Pray: </strong>Thank God that He is your refuge, your strength, and your ever-present help in trouble.</p>
<p><strong>Do: </strong>Make a quick list of your top 3 current fears and write next to each of them, &#8220;God is bigger.&#8221;</p>

Jenny Cudahy, our Director of Children&#8217;s Ministry, will enlighten us on being <em>Easter Chicks ~ Embracing the Love of God. </em> What does it mean to be an Easter Chick? The Easter story brings us to a pivotal moment, but Jesus&#8217; resurrection is not the end of the story. Every day, Easter Chicks make a decision whether or not to live their lives touched by the actions and words of Jesus. We&#8217;ll explore how Easter chicks endeavor to live lives that are reconciled with, refreshed by and reunited in Christ.

<p><strong>1. SOMETHING FOR YOUR HEART</strong></p>
<p><a href="http://youthspecialties.us1.list-manage1.com/track/click?u=af5742699a583e671b94078e9&amp;id=a34a84557c&amp;e=1ed9ae2945" target="_blank">Walk This Way: Like Jesus</a></p>
<p>&#8220;Whoever claims to live in him must walk as Jesus did.&#8221; (1 John 2:6)</p>
<div>
<p>Here&#8217;s something that would be weird: A 28-year-old guy who never, ever walked in his whole life even though he was perfectly healthy. He just never felt like it. He never got around to it. Maybe someday when he&#8217;s older.</p>
<p>Guess what? That never happens. Human babies who can walk always do eventually. If they don&#8217;t, they&#8217;re not healthy. Something is wrong that needs fixing.</p>
<p>But I know some Christians who think it&#8217;s perfectly normal not to walk in the way of Jesus. They seem to think you can be a healthy Christian without ever moving your spiritual legs, without ever getting up and following after Jesus. Guess what? Healthy Christians always walk &#8212; unless there&#8217;s something seriously wrong. (We might fall down a lot, but that&#8217;s because we&#8217;re walking in the first place.)</p>
<p>We&#8217;re going to talk for the next week or two about what we should expect to see our spiritual legs doing as we grow up in Christ. Where should these wobbly new legs be taking us? What should be different about us than if we were not Christians, at all? Come back tomorrow.</p>
<p><strong>Think:</strong> What does the idea of walking as Jesus did mean to you? Do you expect to see yourself walking more and more like Him as you grow as a Christian?</p>
<p><strong>Pray:</strong> Ask God to help you to understand what it means to walk as Jesus did &#8212; and then ask Him to help you to continue to do that.</p>
<p><strong>Do:</strong> If want to read ahead, check out Romans 12:9-21 to see what kind of hiking we&#8217;ll be talking about for the next two weeks.</p>
