Therefore, since
we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses, let us also lay
aside every weight, and sin which clings so closely, and let us run
with perseverance the race that is set before us. Heb.12:1

A great big thanks goes out to all youth and parents who helped
out on the Battle of the Bands event. All in all it was a great
success! We learned a lot, worked hard and had a lot of fun.
Please consider helping out with any of our outings as chaperones
or with any upcoming
awesome and important events in the lives of our growing youth.
Please join us
on Sunday evenings for our new series entitled, “WHY SO MANY GODS?”
We are doing a comparison study of religions. As we draw closer to
the One True God, please pray for our youth as they wrestle with
this very question. Thank you, parents, for your unending support.
We have a great program that is growing and becoming all that God
has because of your dedication and love for the children. Blessings
to you!
