Greetings!

Many school systems will have long weekends for President's Day this week.  We are taking advantage of this time by offering a community service opportunity for youth.  Please join us on Friday, February 17, for a morning of service at The Place of Forsyth.  Details are included below.
 
Our youth website is coming along, with lots of changes over the past week.  We hope you'll check it out and give us your input.  We want our website to be a great place for information, both for APC members and for those in the community who might be thinking about visiting our church.  E-mail me with any suggestions. 

 

Finally, I'd like to congratulate Lindsey L. and Christana W. for their wins in the recent DECA competition.  They will now advance to the state level!

 

In Christ,
Kelly Edwards, Director of Youth Ministries

Weekly Bible Verse Headline
 
1 Corinthians 9:24 ~ Do you not know that in a race all the runners run, but only one gets the prize? Run in such a way as to get the prize.

The prize we are running for is salvation in Christ.  Do you "run" every day in a way that glorifies God?  Are you doing what you need to do to deserve that prize?
