  ATTENTION: PARENTS OF 6TH-12TH GRADERS!
  
  We have a special presentation for you scheduled for Friday evening, May 1. It is about learning how to keep your kids safe from drugs and other substance abuse. Now maybe you’re thinking “Not my kid; he/she would never do drugs.” The truth is, all of our kids are living in a society where drugs and other substances of abuse are readily available (even some right in your own home!) and often tried. It’s possible for even one trial to be deadly. You may think your home and school are safe havens, but the devil prowls around there too. From my many years of ministry with young people I can tell you no one is exempt from the temptation of the use and abuse of substances. One of our best weapons is knowledge and one of the best battle tactics in this war is active prevention. Because of these temptations to our youth and their damaging results, several years ago I became a certified drug and alcohol educator in order to help kids and their parents know the dangers and stay away; I am that concerned about this problem.
  
  Now I want to arm you. Please come to this eye-opening and informative presentation on how to keep your kids safe from drugs. It will be Friday, May 1, at 6:30 p.m. in the church fellowship hall. In fact, I am so serious about this and want you to attend that I am even going to treat you to dinner that night; so come hungry—for food, and knowledge. I know you’re already filled with the first course—love for you kids!
  
  If you plan to come, please sign up at church, or call me (225-0107) or email (gbork@apostlessj.org). And invite others, too!
  
  
  God’s blessings on your week and happy Easter,
  Mr. Fillner
