Pinetree Park Family,
Every vote is a voice, and yours carries power. Election Day is our chance to shape the future of our communities, protect our values, and ensure our leaders reflect the will of the people. Staying home means letting others decide for you. Showing up means standing up for what matters. Make your plan, take a friend, and cast your ballot. Your vote is your influence — use it boldly and let it be counted.

Go Change the World
Graduates, we celebrate your perseverance. You have pressed through long nights, heavy workloads, unexpected challenges, and moments when quitting felt easier than continuing. Yet here you stand—stronger, wiser, and prepared for what comes next. Your journey has proven that endurance is not just an academic skill; it is a spiritual one. “Let us not grow weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest” (Galatians 6:9).
But as you step into the world, hear this truth clearly: your purpose is bigger than a paycheck. God did not shape you, strengthen you, and carry you through these years simply so you could make money. He called you to make a difference.
Jeremiah 29:11 reminds us that God’s plans are not small. They are purposeful, hope‑filled, and world‑shaping. Jesus calls you the light of the world (Matthew 5:14–16)—not the light of your bank account, not the light of your résumé, but the light of the world. Light changes environments. Light reveals truth. Light brings hope.
As you enter new careers, new cities, and new opportunities, carry this assignment with you:
Work With Purpose, Not Just Ambition
Colossians 3:23 teaches, “Whatever you do, do it heartily, as unto the Lord.” Your work becomes worship when your motive is service, not status. Excellence is your ministry.
Lead With Integrity and Compassion
Micah 6:8 calls us to “act justly, love mercy, and walk humbly with God.” The world needs leaders who value people more than profit and character more than convenience.
Leave the World Better Than You Found It
Your generation carries a mantle of transformation. Whether you become educators, entrepreneurs, artists, engineers, caregivers, or innovators—let your impact outlive your income. Build something that blesses those who come after you.
Graduates, God has invested too much in you for you to live small. Step boldly into your calling. Shine brightly. Serve faithfully. Dream fearlessly. And remember success is not measured by what you accumulate, but by what you contribute.
Go forward with courage. Go forward with conviction. Go forward determined to make the world better for the next generation.
Congratulations, graduates. Your future is bright—and the world needs your light.

From the Health Ministry
Stroke is a leading cause of death in the United States and causes more long-term disabilities than any other disease. According to the American Heart Association, stroke is the fifth leading cause of death in women and kills more women than men. Scientific research has shown that strokes even cause some forms of dementia. Risk of vascular dementia is due to the cumulative impact of multiple strokes that can occur unnoticed as we age.
A stroke occurs when blood flow to the brain is blocked or reduced. Blood vessels carry oxygen and nutrients to the brain and when part of the brain cannot get enough blood or oxygen, brain cells begin to die within minutes. Another type of stroke is a hemorrhagic stroke. This occurs when a blood vessel in the brain leaks or bursts and causes bleeding in the brain.
Most though not all risk factors are preventable. Listed below are some risk factors for stroke that are controllable with lifestyle changes and medication:
1) Lifestyle - Poor eating habits, lack of exercise, smoking and drinking, obesity
2) Medical - High blood pressure, high cholesterol, Type 11 diabetes, some forms of heart disease, sleep Apnea
Some of the Uncontrollable risk factors are:
1) Age - As we age our risk for stroke increases
2) Gender- Women are at greater risk for stroke than men
3) Race – African Americans and Hispanics are at greater risk
Stroke symptoms include:
1) Sudden numbness or weakness in the face, arms or legs
2) Sudden confusion, trouble speaking or understanding
3) Sudden trouble seeing in one or both eyes
4) Sudden trouble walking, dizziness or loss of balance
5) Sudden severe headache with no known cause
If you suspect that a person is having a stroke, you must act quickly. Two million brain cells die every minute during a stroke, so recognizing symptoms early can save a life or limit disabilities. Remember, B E F A S T !!
B = BALANCE Watch for sudden loss of balance or coordination
E = EYES Look for sudden double vision or loss of vision
F = FAST Ask the person to smile. Does one side of the face droop ?
A = ARMS Ask the person to raise both arms. Does one arm drift down significantly?
S = SPEECH Ask the person to repeat a simple phrase. Is the speech slurred or strange?
T = TIME If you observe any of these signs call 911 immediately!
Although our stroke risk increases with age, a stroke can happen to anyone at anytime. According to the CDC 15% of ischemic strokes occur in young adults and adolescents. Resolve today to make healthy changes to your diet, increase your physical activity, and if you smoke, to stop.
