Please be praying for our students this weekend. I have been reading through Colossians and in Chapter 4:3-4 talks about praying for an “open door for our message” and to pray that we “proclaim as we should.” This weekend’s event has a single purpose, sharing the life change truth of the Gospel. This will happen on many levels, through the speaker on stage, through group leaders in small group and one one one; teenager to teenager. Ask God to open those doors and give courage to our teens to simply share with their friends what God has done for them.

Reminder: No Discipleship this Sunday PM, but we are having Choir.

Look at what is coming and what is already here!

What’s coming: Spring Break

There has been a change in our yearly calendar. We will not be going to Mission Arlington during spring break. We felt the need for our students to be more involved in local mission opportunities.

What’s here: Jan 20-22 

This will be a great weekend, where students will experience incredible teaching and worship. This weekend provides opportunity for our students to grow in their relationship with God and each other! We are still accepting late registrations.

For PARENTS: Saturday Jan 21st, we are hosting a parent seminar featuring pastor Brian Haynes, talking about Legacy Pathways. This help provide practical guidance and biblical wisdom as to how to lead our students spiritually. To register call Jan in the church office.
