Good morning everyone, I want to give a big thanks to all the students and adults that helped with the Hallelujah festival. There was a load of folks that came through this year and everything I heard was positive. A large portion of the student body that helped were the students that ride the buses on Sunday mornings. It really blesses me to see a group of students that will come to church without the push from parental figures in their lives. Below is some information about GO Camp 2014, Winter Woods Retreat, Fundraisers, and events coming up. Before we know it 2015 will be in full gear so the time is now to get ready for it.
