Love of Learning ~ Managing Your Media



Media exists in many formats across many devices, and sometimes managing it all can feel like a lot! If you took lots of photos over the holiday season, will you be printing those images out, uploading them to the cloud, loading them onto a flash drive? If none of that terminology makes sense or you are just not sure of all the options you may have, mark your calendars for Tuesday, Jan. 14 at 1:00pm in Room B. Conner Treude, our Media Coordinator, will discuss storing and sharing pictures and media across both your phone and computer. We’ll cover topics like texts, emails, AirDrop, and thumb drives. Sign up here and start 2025 off by learning something new!

High School Ski Trip Highlights



This past weekend, La Casa High School students experienced an incredible time of growth and connection with God at the ski trip in Flagstaff.

They confronted the lies and stress the enemy uses to distort their identities, learning to take every thought captive and replace it with God's truth (1 Corinthians 10:4-5). The steps they took in their faith were inspiring, and we can't wait to see how God continues to work in their lives!

Freshman and first-time attendee, Brookie, said, "Going on the church trip and skiing together was amazing, but what really stood out was the powerful messages by Ryan, and the faith we all felt as teens."

If you missed this trip, you definitely don't want to miss the next one - our summer trip is going to be amazing!
