Dear Parents
When it comes to Adventist history, few chapters of the Bible are as foundational as Daniel 2 and Nebuchadnezzar’s dream. This month we’ll look at the chapter from several different angles: practical (what lessons from Daniel’s experience speak to us today?), prophetic (how do the metals in Nebuchadnezzar’s statue line up with history?), and applicable (how should we live knowing these truths?).
Daniel was taken from his home, marched across the desert, mistreated by the Chaldeans, and yet through it all, he stayed faithful to God and ran toward Him when life got hard. This week our teens will be challenged to hold on to their faith and run to Jesus when things get difficult.

Connection Points
This week, I encourage you to spend a few minutes talking with your teenager about our lesson. Consider building your conversation around Chronicles 20:35-37 and these questions:
• When you’re in trouble who is another person, you always turn to for help?
• Who did Jehoshaphat trust to get his ships to Tarshish, and what was the outcome?
• What causes people to trust in others instead of God?
• How can our family lean more on God during these kind of times?
Have a great time exploring these topics. Thanks for your prayers and support!

Bible Study Small Group - There is Bible study this week, but it will be at Nathan Machado's house! His address is 22053 A St. Eagle, NE 68347. We will still be going through Philippians but just having a change of location. I hope to see you there.
Almost every Friday night Mic and Tori host a small group Bible study in their home from 7:15-9:00pm.

This is one of the best things we do.
