_{A Word From Our Student Minister . . .}

_{Like every year, our students are gearing up for a life-changing Missions Camp this Summer, and like every year, most of them cannot afford the $350 it costs to send them there. As a church, we are responsible for the spiritual engagement of our students and are asking each other to help support them financially for this cause. If you feel God leading you to do so, see the basket in the hallway of the sanctuary, fill an envelope with the amount you'd like to donate, and place the envelope in the offering plate. Thank you so much for investing in our students and making a missional impact in our world for God's glory!}
