Dear parents,
The Thanksgiving season is the perfect time to reflect on all of God’s gifts to us, including his provision in times of need. In this lesson of Thanksgiving, we examine a story from 1 Samuel 7:3-14, where Samuel erects a “stone of help” (an Ebenezer)after the Israelites pray for God’s help defeating the Philistines and he gives them an incredible victory.
We explore how Israel had just returned to the Lord and confessed their sins when the threat of the Philistines surfaced. It probably wasn’t the “welcome back to church” event they had anticipated in response to their spiritual transformation. And let’s face it, we may never have been surrounded by Philistines, but many of us can relate. Still, the people humbly asked for Samuel’s intercession, believing that only God could save them from the Philistine army—and he did.
This week, I encourage you to spend a few minutes talking with your teenager about our lesson. Consider building your conversation around these questions:

This week, I encourage you to spend a few minutes talking with your teenager about our lesson. Consider building your conversation around these questions:
- When have you felt like the Israelites—like you were really trying to do everything God’s way and then something bad happened? How did it turn out?
- How would you explain an Ebenezer?
- What are you going to remember to be grateful for? What did you write on your rock?

Who We Are |
The Crash is the name of our Student Ministry at FAC. We meet every Wednesday nights (from September-May) from 6:16-8:18. In this environment all students benefit from a small group setting with one or more caring adults whose mission it is to love students to and through a relationship with Jesus Christ.

What's with the Name? |
Well, just as a group of elephants are known as a HERD, a group of rhinos is called a CRASH. Rhinos are unique animals that, despite their incredible mass can run at speeds up to 40 mph. What is even more remarkable is that a rhino can only see about 15 feet ahead. It takes a great deal of faith to run at 30 mph with such limited visibility, but ultimately it doesn’t matter what is 15 feet in front of the rhino because it had better get out of the way. We want our students to exercise this kind of faith in life. That is why our guiding verse is 2 Corinthians 5:7 “We live by faith, not by sight”.
