Hello Parents!
Dear HSM Parents,

Welcome to our June Newsletter! If you are new with us, hi incoming 9th grade parents, each month we send out all the information that is going on within YOCF. Thank you for working with us through all of these changes in the past few months we really appreciate all of your patience and support! While we might not be meeting together as a youth group in person really soon, we still have a lot of good stuff coming up this summer! Make sure to stay connected to our instagram @yoyoyocf and the OCF youtube channel for updates! Check out down below our plans for the coming weeks and the ways we will be connecting with each other, daily, weekly, and updates for future plans for the year.

Student Ministries Staff is really excited to announce our plans for our summer program! Starting June 10th, every other week, we will be premiering a new episode of our YOCF LIVE at 6pm on OCF's youtube channel! It will be a fun time filled with silly videos, games, prizes, challenges, interviews, worship, and a message! We then will post a link in the description box of the video to our Zoom small group after parties, where we will go into a discussion time about the episode. Your student's will definitely not want to miss out on this!

We want you to know that we are praying for your families in the midst of everything that is going on in the world currently. Know that we are with you despite the distance and would love for you to reach out if there is anything we can be praying for specifically. Let's take comfort in the words of Jeremiah, "The steadfast love of the Lord never ceases; his mercies never come to an end; they are new every morning great is your faithfulness. 'The Lord is my portion,' say my soul, 'therefore I will hope in him.'" (Lamentations 3:22-24)

With Much Love,

YOCF Staff

Making Your Home Safe and Secure Through A.W.E.
Jim Burns -President of HomeWord and Executive Director of the HomeWord Center for Youth and Family at Azusa Pacific University

A home filled with generous amounts of affection, warmth, and encouragement (A.W.E.) is a home that will be a safe and secure place to live. At almost every age, children go through stages of testing your authority as well as trying out their judgment and independence. While there's not much you can do to change how your child tests your limits, you can change the ways you respond to your kids. As a parent, you can develop this sense of affection, warmth, and encouragement with your children by following these three principles:

1. Show Lots of Affection. Kids need a lot of appropriate and loving touch. If they don't receive it from their parents, as they get older, they may try to find a false sense of love through inappropriate forms of affection. Even if your parents didn't show lots of affection to you, get past it and be the transitional generation who brings affection to your children.

2. Fill Your Home with Warmth. At times, all relationships experience at least some low-level anger and frustration. Let's face it, when one imperfect person marries another imperfect person and then they have imperfect children, life is bound to get messy at times. However, homes that thrive are homes where someone rises above the conflict and intentionally creates a warm environment that is inviting and accepting. This doesn't mean you repress or ignore the issues in your family. But attitude is everything. How you respond to your children and to situations does make a difference.

3. Provide Tons of Encouragement. A home filled with tension, criticism, and negativity shuts down intimacy and closes your child's spirit. A home filled with affirmation and encouragement opens their spirit and helps them thrive. When parents find reasons to encourage their children daily, kids will have a better self-image and become more confident. The home ought to be the one place your kids feel truly affirmed, safe and secure.
