The seminar is for parents of teenagers and young adults in trouble and the professionals who work with them. Participants will learn how to: identify problems and crises, make action plans to deal with kids in trouble, and allow kids to deal with the consequences of their behavior. They will also learn how to gather support from other adults in the community, begin to network with helping professionals and agencies, and help other families in trouble. Toughlove is the self-help program, with headquarters in Pennsylvania, that became a national non-profit organization in 1980. The Yorks are family therapists who "went public" with the problems they experienced with their own teenage daughter who went to jail for armed robbery. Their solution, of forming a group of caring parents who will work with the kid in trouble and keep the parents out of the situation, became a network of over 2,000 groups across the U.S. and Canada. Financial aid is available Millions of dollars in student financial aid is available through private sources such as civic groups, professional organizations, churches and industry, in-dustry, says the National Scholarship Matching Service. The service helps college-bound students find suitable sources of scholarships, scholar-ships, grants and loans financial aid the company says often goes unused because parents and students simply don't know where to apply for it. The service has, through years of research, compiled a comprehensive financial aid databank that students can access. NSMS enters students' background data, including their career interests and goals, into the computer com-puter system which then comes up with at least five sources of applicable financial aid If five sources are not found, a $39 processing fee is returned to the student, along with any sources it did find. The company also has a separate financial aid databank for students who have graduated from college and want to attend graduate school.

Although we have come to think of Easter as the time of the Easter Bunny, Easter Eggs, and chocolate rabbits (which by the way are holdovers from ancient fertility rites of pagan spring feasts). Easter actually began to be celebrated for quite a different reason to honor the fact that, for the first time in man's long history, dath was no longer an inescapable certainty. Prior to that first Easter mornii ig nearly 2000 years ago, mankind sought immortality in such things as having lots of children, building monuments to hone himself, looking look-ing for elixers and fountains of youth, and doing the feats from which legends aie built and so on. Unfortunately Unfor-tunately none of this woi ked. No matter what or how many efforts, in time ancestors are forgotten, monuments mon-uments eventually fall and of course, we all know that fountains of youth nr elivers exist only in imagination. Then . . . early one mon iing after a Jewish feast in the land of Israel a few frightened women went to a tomb on a hillside to wrap the mutilated, dead body of the man they had thought to be the Messiah of a new age, in the spices that were the traditional burial pr eparation of the dead at that time. In spite of the fact that three days had passed since his death, they loved him so much that they risked the stench and the armed guard (his was a political execution), to honor him in his death. To their utter astonishment, when they arrived the tomb was opened and empty and the guards were out cold on the ground-To add to their consternation, if that were possible, poss-ible, two men appeared who were dressed in robes that gleamed like lightning, and said, "Why do you look for the living among the dead? He is not here: he has RISEN! Remember he told you that he would die at the hands of sinful men. be crucified, and then in three days would rise again " So this is what Easter is really all about Someone actually rising from the dead, someone had actually overcome death. Not only did someone nse from the dead; he promised ins lulloweis that he would raise them from the dead if they could believe it We know that this one who conquered death was Jesus Christ, that he made the long-sought for immortality available to all who would follow him. No 01 ie ai ly longer need die. This is Easter. PARK CITY CHRISTIAN FELLOWSHIP smkA The best of everything & eveiything you need at the bottom of the hill.
