We are starting on September 3rd with our new series “The Gospels”. We’ll be diving into Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John, exploring their similarities and also the differences. Each one was written for a specific purpose ... knowing the reason helps us understand how to read that book.
🎮 What: Fun games, inspiring lessons, delicious snacks, and heartfelt small group prayer time.
“The Best Night of the Week”
Our youth have told us that these nights are "the best night of the week.” Our fantastic leaders, Lynn and Ed Violette, Becky Vallis, Jim Lush, Deborah Gilbert, and Stefan Gilbert, are thrilled to be leading this amazing group of young people.
