John 16:12-15

“I still have many things to say to you, but you cannot bear them now. When the Spirit of truth comes, he will guide you into all the truth, for he will not speak on his own but will speak whatever he hears, and he will declare to you the things that are to come. He will glorify me because he will take what is mine and declare it to you. All that the Father has is mine. For this reason I said that he will take what is mine and declare it to you.

Youth Summer Mission Trips

Our high school youth mission team arrived in Belize yesterday to work on construction projects, to work with local kids and youth, to offer spiritual visits in homes, and to distribute food to those in need. The group would love for you to keep up with their trip HERE. They will return on Friday, June 13. Our middle school youth mission team will serve in Louisville, Kentucky June 15-20. Please keep these two groups in your prayers.
