Hey there,
It's been awhile since I've updated you all on what's been going on! Part of the reason for that is that I'm also involved in the Men's Ministries which are pretty much exploding right now (PTL)!
Anyway! Here we go with what's happening!

Awaited
December TBD.
If you've been around the past two years you've probably heard about our trip to Crossroads Church in Cinci for their Christmas program, Awaited. This phenomenal production is one of my favorite events we do all year long! We will be securing 30+ tickets for the show. Signups will be first come first served. We will know the dates of our show around December 1st.
Teaching
On Wednesday nights for the next several weeks we will be exploring what it looks like to live life intentionally with the gospel in mind. We are working through a series entitled,
Life on Mission and David Platt is the primary teacher through the series. Students are discussing the implications of the teaching in their small groups.
After the first of the year we will be breaking into our small groups for age/gender specific teaching lead by our phenomenal Youth Leaders!
On Sunday Mornings we will begin a series looking into Salvation. We will discuss the plan of Salvation and what it really means that we were chosen before time (Eph 1:4). We will also look at Justification, Sanctification and Glorification and how those truths impact our lives.
Starting in January we will explore Baptism. This study will provide students the opportunity to remember what it means to be baptized (if they have been already) and stir others to obedience in baptism after hearing what it means and why we do it.

November 26th
December 17th, 24th or 31st
