Reality Tour
The Reality Tour® program is coming to North Main Street Church of God! Starting in September, youth from all over the Butler community will be coming HERE to attend this drug prevention program. Drama and emotional learning are used to create a memorable experience that covers the consequences of drug use and provides them with coping skills and firsthand accounts. In today's world, drugs are more available and disguised than ever before, making it crucial for parents to help their teens navigate the risks BEFORE they're exposed to drugs.
Made by parents for parents, the Reality Tour brings families, schools, law enforcement, and community volunteers together for a powerful educational experience that can influence conversations and choices for years to come. Don't miss the opportunity to volunteer with us as we provide a space for parents to learn and grow together with their child. There are so many different ways to volunteer: acting (teen & parents, enforcement officer, medical personnel), running the tech booth, printing photo IDs for the kids the night of the event, marketing, and more.
Are you interested in volunteering for the Reality Tour? Of COURSE you are! This is an amazing opportunity to help impact our community for the better. We're excited to announce that the tour will take place on the 4th Monday of every month, starting on September 25th. But before that, we're offering a few trainings for our wonderful volunteers. The first one is scheduled for Wednesday, July 26th at 6:30 pm. If you're interested in being a part of this amazing opportunity, head over to our website to sign up!

Week 1 - July 2nd
Have you ever experienced something which seemed to be contrary to the promises of God? Have you ever wondered what God could possibly be doing during a very difficult time or situation? Even in those times, can you identify the protective hand of God? When those who are against God seem to be prospering, What is God’s promise to those who choose Him? What is it that the flesh can experience that stone cannot? How can you avoid allowing bitterness, anger, or pride to harden you toward those things which are important to The Lord?

Week 2 - July 9th
How often do you mistake a popular saying to be the truth? Or from the scripture? Popularity does not indicate righteousness, so, can you identify several ways to protect yourself against the rhetoric of current culture? We often take on the shame of the actions of our loved ones. What is this passage telling you about the heart of God toward every individual? Is this passage encouraging or convicting for your personal circumstances?

Week 3 - July 16th
What is noteworthy about the phrase in vs 8, “As surely as I live, declares the Sovereign Lord,” Identify the 3 ways God promises salvation of his flock in vs 10. Who do you identify with in this passage of scripture and why? Does that revelation encourage you? Are you moved to obedience in any direction, identify it. Knowing God is your protector and provider, how can you shift your focus from those who have harmed you?

Week 4 - July 23rd
Have you ever been utterly discouraged? What situation in your life did you once feel sure God was going to bless, that later appeared beyond hope? Can you see the connection between the creation story and this passage? In both situations, once the creation was formed what did God have to do in order for the miracle to be complete? What is currently in your life which seems to be beyond hope? What is the promise of God in this passage?

Week 5 - July 30th
Have you experienced the grief of a fractured family or other close relationships? How does God speak directly to restoring the lost? What commonality will bring the restored people together? Is this restoration a unity of compromise and lack of standards? How should you respond to the discussion unity for unity’s sake? Is this what this passage is indicating? How should you proceed when you are dealing with grief and loss, according to this passage?
