Here's a Snapshot of What's Going On

  • We're encouraging ALL students to invite, invite, invite! We want to reach them AND their friends with the love of God to help change our community! We'd love for all parents help in this mission.
  • This week, we're starting a 12 part series called, "The Teen You Could Be." The whole series will be focused on the fact that teens don't have to wait until they're eighteen or twenty-one or even older to be a godly person. That God says they can be His powerful, obedient servants right now!

  • Due to work commitments, Nikki and Ellen both are unable to be at G2G this week. They will take a break and resume next week, May 3rd.
  • Last week they wrapped up a series called Fantom where they took a closer look at the week of the Passion. Next week they will start a new study looking at similarities and differences in the Christian denominations as well as touch on world religions.
  • We are so thankful for the investment Ellen and Nikki are making in the lives of our girls!
