Housing and Childcare Needed
We have a new sister that moved to this area from Mountain Home. She is looking for a rental in Bentonville and she’s also looking for day care in the home of a member for her 9 month old son. She is open to renting a room in someone's home. If you are able to help with housing or childcare, please contact Sister Isabell.
FUN Eagle Scout Project this Saturday!
From Anne A.
Hi all!
Join us for a FUN eagle project this Saturday starting at 8am at the church. Bring a SMARTphone and a lap top with WIFI (if you have one--the phone is most important). We are documenting two cemeteries in Garfield for BillionGraves.com.
Each team will take a picture with their phone of the grave marker, upload it to Billion Graves (you will need to download an app onto your phone. . . so Walmart owned phones may not work) and transcribe the information on the website. The uploaded picture has GPS coordinates attached, so that current and future generations will know exactly where the grave is located. We need others who don't have phones to transcribe the information and others who will verify the information is correct. This a project where we can use every teen
and lots of parents who are willing to spend a few hours this Saturday with us.
Breakfast will be served at 8 for all who volunteer at the church; Jacob will train the teams and then we will travel to Garfield and hopefully get all 600 graves done!
It IS late notice. . . but the race is on to his 18th birthday in September. Any help is appreciated more than you can know.

Parenting Tip
"If you want to see what children can do, you must stop giving them things."
-Norman Douglas, British Author (1868-1952)
ScreamFree's Take
It’s an ironic twist of fate that the more things we give to our children, the less creative and self-sufficient they become with those things. I don’t claim to know why this is true, but I do know that I have seen the truth of it play out in countless families I’ve counseled and in my own.
We all have good intentions when we give answers, goodies, and assistance to our children. We like to see them happy. We want them to have the things we never could. We want to give them a leg up in this harsh world. And if we’re honest, we’ll admit that sometimes it’s even less noble than that. It’s just easier to give your child something than to watch them struggle on their own without it. You want your child to learn the value of doing family chores, but the thought of fighting with junior one more time over folding the clothes just sends you off the deep end. Am I alone here?
Here’s what we have to keep in mind when we are tempted to give our kids more and more. The best thing we can give our children is our confidence in them. When they can tell, through our actions, that we believe them to be creative and capable because we don’t rush to rescue them from boredom or hard work, they will start to believe in themselves. Then watch out. They’ll start doing things that neither of you thought possible.
