"Faithful to my Lord's commands, I still would chose the better part; Serve with careful Martha's hands And loving Mary's heart."John Wesley
Romans 12:1-3
1. SPEAK TO PEOPLE. There is nothing as nice as a cheerful word of greeting!
2. SMILE AT PEOPLE. It takes seventy-two muscles to frown, only fourteen to smile. (Besides, you may be on 'Spy TV')
3. CALL PEOPLE BY NAME. The sweetest music to anyone's ear is the sound of ones own name!
4. BE FRIENDLY AND HELPFUL. If you would like to have friends, then, be friendly!
5. BE CORDIAL. Speak and act as if everything you do were a genuine pleasure! (If it is right and good, it really should be.)
6. BE GEUINEIY INTERESTED IN PEOPLE. Empathy means involvement!
7. BE GENEROUS WITH PRAISE and cautious with criticism!
8. BE CONSIDERATE WITH THE FEELINGS OF OTHERS. It will be appreciated.
9. BE THOUGHTFUL OF THE OPINIONS OF OTHERS. There are three sides to controversy--yours-'--the other fellows and the right one!
10. BE ALERT TO GIVE SERVICE. What counts most in life is who we are in Christ and then what we do for others!

The greatest youth and church relations builder since potlucks and free pizza!
If you are a typical youth worker you are dealing with frustrations with upset and even angry church members, and unsupportive staff! "Why did the youth mess up the kitchen?" "Why did the youth make so much noise in the parking lot?" "Why don't the youth ever do anything for us in the church?" And so forth…
Do you need an event that builds positive relations with your church folks? Do you need to get in good graces with the Pastor and Elders? Do you need to have a fundraiser yet are tired of bake sales and dog washes? Do you desire to involve your youth...

A.C.T.S is an acronym or axiom that points us to the Lord's Prayer and other Scripture, and gives us precepts so we can divide up our time and purpose to engage in prayer with a correct devotion and attitude. "ACTS" refers to the percepts of prayer-the categories of Adoration, Confession, Thanksgiving, and Supplication.
