This organization is a place for children with developmental disabilities to stay for the day or even up to two weeks. The age group at the ball is 15- 21, and each person attending needs a "date" or volunteer. Our group for this class has 5 people (including myself), but we will need at least 5 more people to volunteer. It is on December 13 (Saturday) from 6-8. Also if you would want to come earlier just to help set up that would be great too. Posted December 4, 2008 at 3:45 PM. Jonathan Vigh, ACF Secretary and co-Webmaster November 15, 2008"See then that you walk circumspectly, not as fools, but as wise, redeeming the time, because the days are evil. Therefore do not be unwise, but understand what the will of the Lord is. And do not be drunk with wine, in which is dissipation, but be filled with the Spirit, speaking to one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody in your heart to the Lord, giving thanks always for all things to God the Father in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, submitting to one another in the fear of God." ~ Ephesians 5:15-21.

Resist him, steadfast in the faith, knowing that the same sufferings are experienced by your brotherhood in the world. But may the God of all grace, who called us to His eternal glory by Christ Jesus, after you have suffered a while, perfect, establish, strengthen and settle you.
