Check out down below our plans for the coming weeks and the ways we will be connecting with each other, daily, weekly, and upcoming events!

We are back into the full swing of our regular schedule with Sunday night youth group, mid-week Life Groups, & our weekly bible studies. We have a worship night, life group night out, & Falloween coming up. Make sure you look below for more info on all of these things!

Being able to partner with you is a blessing to our ministry, this month let us be reminded and encourage that we have a God who hears our prayers, "When the righteous cry out for help, the Lord hears and delivers them out of their troubles" (Psalm 34:17).

10 Telltale Signs Your Teen May Be Depressed
Jim Burns -President of HomeWord and Executive Director of the HomeWord Center for Youth and Family at Azusa Pacific University
The teenage years are an emotional rollercoaster—I mean, in all honesty—which of us parents would willingly go back and relive our junior or high school years all over again?

The happy times for a teenager can be utterly sensational but the "down times" are very real as well. One national survey reported that many teens experience feelings of depression and sadness that often go untreated and that 9 out of 10 adolescents have periods of depression that last at least two weeks.

So, how is a parent to tell whether a teenager is depressed or just in a mood? Here are some questions to ask yourself:

1. Is he or she always sad or in an irritable mood?
2. Has he or she lost interest in something he or she previously enjoyed?
3. Have you noticed a significant change in his or her eating patterns? (Has your son seemed to "lose" his appetite—or has your "figure-conscious" daughter become a "chow hound?")
4. Is your former "early riser" now sleeping in considerably longer?
5. Does he or she have trouble concentrating on projects that "never used to be a problem before?"
6. Has your son or daughter recently begun expressing feelings of worthlessness or inappropriate guilt?
7. Do they fear death?
8. Is your son or daughter experiencing excessive boredom?
9. Is your son or daughter prone to sudden outbursts of shouting, complaining, unexplained irritability, or crying?
10. Has your son or daughter recently begun complaining about frequent vague, unspecific physical ailments?

If anything on the list applies to your child, he or she may be dealing with depression. Seek professional help—and get it today!
