hey friends!

welp....the anticipation is over as we assigned 46 sets of Big Brothers and Big Sisters last night. we are continually striving to grow bigger and smaller at the same time. the Big Brother/Sister Ministry is our attempt to connect 8th and 9th grade students with our older senior high students to bridge the age gaps. it was awesome seeing our older students and younger students literally 'embrace' last night!

DIVE (monday night Bible study) kicks off tonight! junior high students will meet at hunter johnson's house from 6:00 PM to 7:00 PM and we'll be studying the Psalms. senior high students will meet at katy stracener's casa from 7:30 PM to 8:30 PM and we are studying the book of Revelation. come on and be a part. call the church office if you need more info or directions (778.2271)!
