Hope 4 Life
Diffusing the Big Lie

This month we have focused our teaching and discussions on having hope for life. Our desire has been to see students like you walk away from our services and activities with hope in your heart to live. We don't want the world to pass you by and make you wonder what could have been. We don't want you to be looking at life's circumstances and feel that there is no use in even trying. You were meant to live for so much more. You were meant to live with HOPE.

Wednesday night we will finish our Hope 4 Life series with another teen talk show type event. The evening will be mixed with drama, video, music, and honest conversation with special guest students. These student are your peers, your classmates, your friends. They live in the same world with the same pressures, and some of the same struggles that you face day in and day out. How do they do it? How do they stay so happy and full of hope? What's their secret?

Well, it's no secret at all. Wednesday night, through some open-ended discussion, our eyes will be opened as to how we all can have this same Hope 4 Life. This week our conversation will include topics such as friendships, relationships and sexuality, wisdom, substance abuse, and health. I HOPE to see you there.
