Emily's Message
If I could offer you something that would increase your self-control, make you nicer, help reduce stress and increase your ability to trust, would you be interested? Read more.
Making God's Love Real
This week, I experienced God's love. At school, my homeroom teacher helped me by giving me a few pointers. To her, it was probably a small thing, but to me it was a big thing.

Sundays
Sunday Morning
We believe that the best way to create "sticky faith" is by having youth involved in congregational worship and serving in church. We encourage both of these for our students. If not attending worship, students can serve in various ways during the hour they are on campus. If you would like to get your student plugged into serving around campus with Children's Ministries, Open Arms, the Tech Team, ushering or greeting, please contact Emily.
Merge, Sunday 5:30-8 p.m.
Think of all things you can do with your phone. What if you ignored the apps and only used it for calling? Do you think you would be missing out? This week we'll talk about a similar thing you might be missing out on. Read more.

Dinner is $5. New friends get a free gift (and so do you for inviting!)
Wednesdays
Middle School Bible Study, 6:30-8 p.m.
Dinner starts at 5:15 p.m. in HAC ($8/person). This semester's Active Bible Studies will take us deeper into our understanding of Scriptural truth with hands-on experiences. From creating art to prayer stations, the activities will keep you on your toes each week. We look forward to seeing you there!
