In the midst of these busy final days of Advent, I wanted to be sure you didn't miss a couple of early bird deadlines that are coming up for Recharge and the Extravaganza. You are in my prayers these Advent and Christmas seasons as you share the the light of Christ in a world that needs light...as you share the hope of Emmanuel, in a world that needs to know that God is with us...as you share the love of God, in a world that needs to know a lasting kind of peace. Together in Christ,
Catherine Anderson
Coordinator of Youth Ministry |
