YOUTH MINISTRYLife 2016: Attention all Parents of students going into eight grade through current seniors. If your child is in this grade grouping, they are eligible to go to Life Investment Conference in Kansas City. Every three years our denomination has an event that you do not want to miss. On Wednesday Night, Aug. 26th from 7 PM to 8 PM in the Fellowship Hall, we will be having an informational meeting about this event. Please make every effort to be there.
