Parent's Guide to Child's Senior Year
Over 33,000 students will graduate from Arkansas High Schools this year, according to the ADE Data Center.

They are graduating from a life and a schedule that has been somewhat routine, predictable and charted for them into an unknown.

Sabbath Rest
It’s no secret that we have trouble slowing down to rest these days.

Food Connects Churches With Students
Arkansas Baptist Disaster Relief (DR) is known for going into difficult places to serve those in the crisis of disaster. On August 17, a team of DR volunteers from across the state assembled to serve in a different way! In the early hours of the morning volunteers started driving from all over the state headed to the University of Arkansas in Fayetteville, making the same trip to campus that over 7,000 incoming freshmen had made just days before. While the freshmen had moved to start life in their new home, Disaster Relief volunteers were mobilizing to make them feel welcome.
