Pastor Kellie’s Summer Workshop
NEGATIVE SELF-TALK & SELF-DOUBT: HOW THE BIBLE & PSYCHOLOGY CAN HELP YOU RESHAPE YOUR THOUGHTS
You are not alone. We all battle negative self-talk and self-doubt, but we don’t have to let it control our lives. Like a bad habit, we’ve all tried to talk ourselves out of being negative from our daily thoughts about ourselves, others, and the world around us. Drawing on Scripture & the application resources of psychology, we can learn strategies to help change our thinking so God can change our lives.
“Do not conform to the pattern of this world,
but be transformed by the renewal of your mind. ~Romans 12:2
God has a better life in store for you. What we think shapes who we are. Stop letting unhealthy thought patterns rule the day. Join Pastor Kellie on the journey to freedom from self-doubt and to experience the joy and peace God has in store for you.

Livonia is offering a proactive program designed to assist parents when their child is beginning to show signs of a problem
The Livonia Police Department is currently offering a Parental Evaluation Resource Kit (PERK) to all families who currently live in the City of Livonia or families who have children attending school in the City of Livonia. This PERK is designed to assist Livonia parents who don’t know where to turn when their children begin to show signs of a problem. PERK offers a large amount of information and convenient drug and alcohol tests that provide immediate results in the privacy and safety of the home. In the event of a positive result, PERK directs parents to appropriate community resources WITHOUT law enforcement intervention.
The program empowers parents and gives them the ability to monitor their children in the privacy of their own homes. We are providing this service as a tool for parents to start an open discussion with their children about the dangers of drug and alcohol abuse and to help parents deal with the issues that can interfere with being a healthy student.
While the use of this kit can be an effective method to determine whether a child is engaging in substance abuse, professional counseling by qualified, licensed professionals is often the best course of action to take.
PERK is simply a proactive program designed to assist parents when their child is beginning to show signs of a problem. It’s another resource the Livonia Police Department is offering our community in the mission to serve and protect.
Parents can obtain a PERK at the Livonia Police Department Investigative Bureau desk, Monday through Friday, from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. For more information, please call the Crime Prevention Unit at (734) 466-2318.
