This year, our mission trip will be to North Greenville University, South Carolina. The dates for the trip are Monday, June 28 through Saturday, July 3. We will be attending Lifeway's X-Fuge, which will allow our group to stay together as a unit in both ministry and team-building activities.

The total cost per person is $261. More details will follow in coming weeks and months, but the most important item right now concerns deposits. If your student wants to go, the deposit is $50 due by January 31. If money is a problem, please see me, and we can work something out.

We Have Returned!

X-Treme was awesome!

We had an excellent time of fellowship and being challenged through studying God's Word during the preaching sessions. Some of our own youth even made decisions to either rededicate their life to Christ or follow Him for the first time!

This coming Sunday night, we will have a special youth service where you can hear more about the trip. If your teen went on the trip, make sure they are there!

See you at 6 PM on Sunday.

Youth Service Time!

Hello All!

We have a youth service coming this Sunday, Dec. 13. It begins at 6 PM. I hope that you are able to attend. By attending, you encourage the youth of our church in their faith. You also have the opportunity to connect with the teens on a relational level. I hope to see you there!

The Goat

We will need $36 for our goat! One family gave $75 to provide a second goat! We are helping people in need through this ministry. Don't lose sight of the vision, and pray about contributing!

November 29 Is Coming!

That's right, folks! November 29th is coming quick.

You might be saying to yourself, "Oh, that is just another Sunday." Or you might be thinking, "Will the Bengals choke again?" Or, something to the effect of, "I still can't move from eating so much this week."

While all these may be true, there are two reasons you need to know that November 29th is important. Are you ready?

1. Winter X-Treme. Money is due. This is the last day for the remaining balance. PLEASE bring your money!

2. Hanging of the Greens. This is a special service that will bring to focus the Christmas season. We celebrate as a church, and as I am sure many of you know, it will be a great time for all. During the service, we are in need of youth to light candles and hang wreaths. Please plan on attending so that the youth can participate in this special service.
