Compassion and the Holiday Season
 "It is clear that Jesus was not born on December 25. That does not mean Adventists cannot practice compassion during the Christmas season. Compassion must be a lifestyle that permeates every waking hour, every day of the year, including the holiday season," says Jose Cortes, Atlantic Union Adventist Youth Ministries director, in his article in the December issue of the Atlantic Union Gleaner. "Compassion was a priority of Jesus daily, even during the holidays: "But when He saw the multitudes, He was moved with compassion for them"--Matthew 9:36 (NKJV)."

The Bible Bullying Story
 "School is the one place that many students feel safe. Unfortunately, Joseph did not have a school to protect him from bullying. Bullying nearly cost him his life.
"A safe learning environment is the highest priority of every Adventist school and teacher. Schools in the Atlantic Union have policies to prevent bullying and ensure the safety of each child. Bullying is in the news nearly every day. We cannot hide from it. School bullies, cyber/Internet/social media bullies, workplace bullies, and family bullies are a growing concern." Read the entire article written by Jerrell Gilkeson, Atlantic Union Conference associate education director, in the print copy of the December Gleaner or online at atlantic-union.org/bullying.
