CALLING ALL MIDDLE & HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS!

This coming school year, we are going to do something very exciting and also very important for the students and their discipleship of Jesus.

GIRLS WITH GOD

As many of you are aware from the announcement made in church, Girls with God was cancelled this year.   Regrettably, unlike 2016, we simply did not have the participation from young ladies.    However, we do want to thank those who stepped up to be volunteers and those who purchased items from the tag boards.   The community service projects we had planned to complete with those purchased items will still be carried out.   Do not dismay, the items purchased and donated will not go to waste!    Our youth will still participate in these outreach projects but through Sunday morning groups.   They will make the Blessing Bags that contain the items purchased from the tags.    So we are very pleased that God’s work will still be carried out, and we're happy it will still be done by the youth.
