Back to School...Back to Church!
Its that time again back to school! And for many of you, that also means back to church! Weve missed seeing many of you, and we cant wait for our ministry to kick into high gear for the fall. We hope, and pray, that you will be a part of everything! This past summer our church as gone through a renewal process. There is a lot of energy and excitement around here, and it is contagious! That same excitement is alive in our student ministries, and this fall promises to be filled with lots of great opportunities to live out our faith. Please, take some time to read through this newsletter. This is YOUR ministry, and we want you to know what is going on and how to get involved. And after you read it, dont throw it away! Hang it up somewhere, put dates on your calendar, do whatever you need to do in order to stay connected to YOUR family of faith. We would hate for you to miss out on something incredible simply because you didnt know about it. So here it is, everything you need to know!
