Train Up A Child
A few weeks ago we posted some pictures of our children and talked a bit about the Lads to Leaders program. We wanted to share a few more pictures of two of our young men here at Watterson Trail, Jackson and Thomas. On the first Wednesday night of each month we have a singing night. At this time we come together for a brief devotional and a time of singing praises together. We are blessed to have this time together as a congregation and the two young ones in these pictures are fortunate to have this time of training. They excitedly learn the songs they want to lead and are even given the oportunity to deliver devotionals. What a blessing this is! Not only for our boys but for the entire congregation. To know that each member has a part in training up these children so that they will one day lead lives of service in the Lord's body is a wonderful thing.
Summer Lesson Series
This Summer we will be having a special lesson series on "Engaging the Scriptures." Instead of our usual Wednesday evening Bible study time we will be having our study on Tuesday evenings.

Some Basic Traits of a Good Leader
1. A Well-Adjusted Personality. This is important in order to handle the problems of social interaction effectively.
2. Genuine Respect and Concern For Others. Must have “social sensitivity” and be able to feel out the concerns of others. He should also enjoy such interaction. He must believe in the value of his fellowman.

Lads to Leaders
For those who may not be familiar with the Lads to Leaders program, it is a program dedicated to helping young people grow just as Jesus did in "wisdom, stature, and in favor with God and man" (Luke 2:52). We are so proud of all of the kids here at Watterson Trail that participated in the Lads to Leaders program this year. We had a group of 16 people that went to the convention just a few weeks ago in Indianapolis, IN. We also had several that sent artwork and participated here locally. We have an extremely talented group of young people that we are excited to see growing in their ability to be active in the Lord's church and a dedicated group of adults that are helping them on their journey. We had some song leaders, Bible readers, some that gave speeches and even a few artists.
