4. Parent website of the month - This month's website isn't a website at all, but it is an important article about how prescription pills are the new drug of choice among young people. http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?f=/g/a/2009/07/29/hearstmaghealth381323.DTL
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!
