I so enjoy the love and energy that our students have for Jesus and for each other. It’s apparent each time we’re together. Let me encourage you to challenge your students to be inviting their friends to our programs and activities. This loving group is a great place for their friends to connect and learn about the love of Christ.
 
As many of you know we’re working to bring greater clarity and emphasis to our two programs, making both our Jr. High and Sr. High ministries more effective. This will be most evident on Wednesday evenings. In order to make this happen, we’re working to build a second Youth Worship Band. If your student is interested in participating, please have them complete an application and schedule an audition.
