Example's Christmas Party

Example's Christmas party offered everyone who attended all types of gifts: encouragement, inspiration, pineapple juice, encouragement, candles, a great guest speaker, encouragement, pizza, laughter, and encouragement. 

Pablo, Example's guest speaker described his descent into addiction at an early age. He also emphasized the importance of community. Once he began surrounding himself with people who made healthy, virtuous decisions he had a different outlook on life. He admitted that it was not easy, but after being clean of drugs and alcohol for nearly four years, his joy in life has been restored.

Example promotes the same message: surround yourself with people who share your values and make healthy, God-pleasing decisions to refrain from drugs and alcohol. Continue to receive and give encouragement to all the people God places in your life. 

While we may not have decked any halls, many decked the floor, a Christmas tree, and each other during the Twelve Days of Scooter Christmas. Here is short video of the evening. Thanks to everyone who attended. 

God has blessed us with so many gifts, but the greatest gift is the mercy, forgiveness, and salvation that is ours in Christ our Redeemer. 

Merry Christmas!

Example's Christmas Party

 'Tis the season...for Example's Christmas party.  Make plans to attend our Christmas party on Saturday, December 11, from 7-9 p.m. Admission is $5.00 and a wrapped white-elephant gift.

The 2015 Ugly Christmas Sweater champion!

The night includes a great guest speaker from Families Against Narcotics, an ugly Christmas sweater contest, a white-elephant gift exchange, death-defying games involving scooters, and the opportunity to receive and give encouragement to remain alcohol and drug-free. 

The gift exchange is meant to be fun. Dig around the basement, the attic, the garage for that very odd item that seems to be gathering dust. Wrap it up and bring it the party. 

If you purchase something, do not exceed $5.00. There is no need to surprise Mr. Brandt with a Lund 2975 Pro V bass fishing boat. Really, there is no need. Truly, it's not necessary. :)

We want costs to be at a minimum, with fun and encouragement to be at a maximum.

SHOCKtober 2021

 Our SHOCKtober event included an excellent guest speaker, great questions, really starving hippos, balloons, pizza, and great encouragement to live a drug and alcohol free life. 

Our guest speaker, Taylor shared her struggle with alcohol and drugs and her recovery. She shared insights and encouraged everyone to make healthy choices that do not involve alcohol and drugs. 

Thanks to everyone who attended. Our next event will be Saturday, December 11 from 7 - 9 p.m.

Vaping Me Crazy...

Michael DeLeon is the founder and powerhouse behind Steered Straight Inc., a non-profit organization formed in 2007 upon his release from prison and designed to carry an important message to youth on the extreme dangers of drugs, gang involvement and associated criminal activity.

Steered Straight’s program reaches out to children, teens and young adults with a message of reality about life-choices and the importance of consequential thinking so that they understand that there are consequences to their actions. The reality of the message comes from Michael himself, who was entwined in the life of drugs and traveled a troubling road to get to his future.  Throughout the country, Michael now leads a team of talented speakers who present a realistic and powerful prevention message.  His “no holds back” message resonates well with student assemblies, faculty and parents.

One day we hope Michael speaks to our students at Lutheran North. Until then, here is one short video that offers some insights on the danger of vaping.

New Year. New Logo. Same Great Example!

Our first event of the year was fantastic! Alcohol and drugs are NOT an inevitable part of the high school experience. These students proved it.

We had a fun, laughs, t-shirts, paint, and learned about how Example can help students make God-pleasing decisions by avoiding drugs and alcohol. Students signed a banner with a paint-print of their hands to let other students know there are a lot of people who don't drink and use drugs while in high school. We want to make sure students know they are not alone in this decision. They are not on an island.

We also want students know if they have made unwise decisions concerning drugs and alcohol, Example is a great group to help them make better decisions. At every event you will receive encouragement from the other students and you will hear that in Christ our sins are forgiven, mercy is ours, we are renewed and healed.

Special thanks to Alyssa Schlump for designing our new t-shirts!

If you would like buy a t-shirt, the cost is $15.00. Place your order with Mr. Brandt next week.

It's a great way to represent Example and look good at the same time!
