Wolverine Weekly - November12, 2017

"Immediately he spoke to them and said, 'Take courage! It is I. Don’t be afraid.'

Then he climbed into the boat with them, and the wind died down.

They were completely amazed . . . "

Mark 6:50-51

Chaplain's Corner

This past week in Chapel, we journeyed through the well-known passage about Jesus walking on the water found in Mark 6:45-52.

As you are in your homes, in your cars, and around the table this upcoming week, read the following passage and discuss the following questions:

[READ MARK 6:45-52]

“Knowing that Jesus had the disciples get into their boat and start making their way to Bethsaida soon after dinnertime, and the Bible tells us that they were still struggling against the storm on the Sea of Galilee into “the fourth watch of the night” (3am-6am), we know that the disciples had been fighting this storm for about 8 hours! While on the sea in the midst of the storm the disciples did not need fancier or more expensive paddles or more advance classes on how to sail (many of them were professional fisherman)…what they needed was Jesus! How does this passage relate to your life right now?”

“Jesus, from His vantage point on the mountain, saw the storm and saw the disciples’ boat struggling against the storm. Instead of saving the disciples from the land, He stepped out onto the water and came to them. What does this tell you about Jesus?”

“God loves us so much that He will bring situations into our lives in order to show us our absolute need for Him. Why is this a display of His love for us?”

“Right answers do not mean right relationship. The disciples saw Jesus multiply the bread for the crowds, but failed to truly understand that Jesus was the Bread of Life…they knew Jesus was from God, but failed to understand that Jesus was God…they knew Jesus showed people the way, but they failed to truly understand that Jesus was the Way. How is it easy to be around the things of God, and yet still miss out on having a relationship with God? How can we safeguard ourselves from this happening to us?”

“How can I pray for you?”

The Christmas Shoe Project

to benefit Kids First

November 13 - December 1

Kids First is the outreach ministry founded by Larry and Anna Boling in 2003 to minister to the under-privileged children in and around Athens. PACS families can choose to participate in providing shoes to needy children in the following ways:

Shoe information for each participating Kids First child will be written on Christmas ornaments displayed on a lighted Christmas tree in the main hallway of PACS.

During the dates of the project, Prince parents may stop by the school and select one or more ornaments from the tree. Parents may also send requests to their child’s teacher to have an ornament from the tree sent home in their child’s Monday folder.

Once a family selects the ornament, further details regarding the procedures of the project will be communicated.
