Theme for 2017-2018
“Under Construction: God at Work” “For we are God’s
fellow workers. You are God’s field, God’s building. According to the grace of God given
to me, like a skilled master builder I laid a
foundation, and someone else is
building upon it. Let each one take care
how he builds upon it. For no one can lay a
foundation other than that which is laid,
which is Jesus Christ.” 1 Corinthians 3:9-11
What’s New This Week

PARENT BIBLE STUDY : Sundays @ 9:30 – Media Center Once again, Mrs. Thorpe will be leading the Parent Bible Study that takes place in the Media Center each Sunday during our student ministry. Starting on September 10th we will be focusing the study, Raising Christ-Centered Children. Raising children is a lifelong investment that requires much sacrifice and hard work. From learning to discipline your kids, to teaching them to live counter-cultural lives, you need biblical support and encouragement. In this six-session study, you will learn ways to parent with wisdom and point your children to Christ. This is also a chance to talk with other parents about the joys and struggles of your own parenting journey. We hope to see you there!
VOLUNTEERS NEEDED : SECURITY DESK We are in great need of volunteers to run our security desk each day. As you know this position is very important in keeping our students safe every day. There are 3 shifts : 8-11am, 11am-1pm, and 1-3:16pm.
