Parents,
Greetings from sunny Nashville! I am spending the week at the National Youth Workers Convention, hearing and learning from some of the most innovative minds in youth ministry. I am looking forward to bringing some new insights back to Gayton. Coming up on the calendar next week - after a great Thanksgiving weekend - is the Turkey Bowl at "Faig Field" (The Faig's House) from 3-5:30. We'll have directions and more info in next week's digest.
One resource I'm already excited about is something I saw in the convention bookstore: When Church Kids Go Bad. In this practical book, youth ministry veteran Les Christie will help you take a positive approach to discipline when it becomes necessary. "When Church Kids Go Bad" will:
- Reveal the reasons behind problem behavior and show you how to take a positive approach to discipline
- Teach you how to use rules and consequences effectively
- Help you evaluate your strengths and weaknesses in discipline situations (and improve your areas of weakness)
- Give you dozens of specific, practical, helpful ideas you can use immediately with your students
Learn more about and purchase the book in the YS Store.

This
week's lingo:
- Federal = against the law, or not right. "Yo, I ain't stealing that money, that's federal!"
- Parlayin = v. relaxing and communicating, like sitting and talking to a female. "Check out Reggie parlayin with Shana."
Until next week...
