We take very seriously the God-given role of parenthood.  Please pray and ask the Lord to bless as we have these sessions over the next couple of weeks.

Pastor Green was able to speak to the 6th – 8th grade parents this past Sunday, and all seemed to go very well.  If you were not able to be this past Sunday, you will have two other opportunities available.  We have two more Sundays ahead for the 9th – 12th grade parents.

This is just a brief reminder that next Saturday, August 7th is the outreach blitz at 10:00 AM.  We will meet in the Joyful Women classroom.  It is specifically for the Lamplighters and Searchers classes, but we invite any and all adults.  We need to reach our city, and this can happen one door at a time by God’s grace.
