3. A few victories for God

4. Parent website of the month - www.foryourmarriage.org - The U.S. Bishops made a website just to improve marriages. Find tips, thoughtful actions, and ways to improve one of the most influential parts of your teenager's life. Why would a teenager want to get married if all they see are unhappy married couples?
5. Please support our teens with prayer and through the monthly Life Teen envelope. Our ministry of leading teens closer to Christ can't be accomplished without your help and generosity!
