Student Leaders Needed: If you are currently in the seventh to the eleventh grade and are interested in serving as a leader, we want you!

Upcoming Missions

30 Hour Famine: Sign-up now! This year’s 30 Hour Famine will be February 22-23. Again this year we will be raising funds to fight hunger around the world by fasting* thirty hours. (*Most of us will do a juice and water fast. Depending on your health needs, you may modify the fast in a way that makes it possible for you to participate.) Watch for more information as the date gets closer. If you are passionate about the famine we need your help on the Famine Ministry Team. Please email Becky Cunningham (beckyrcunningham@columbus.rr.com).

Student Ministry Summer Mission: The 2008 Summer Mission to Appalachia this July 13-19 is currently SOLD OUT. Despite the fact that we signed up to bring 33% more missionaries this year, we’ve filled all spots in just over a week. We have contacted ASP and asked them about brining a fifth crew. While we are hopeful that we can get one, they weren’t able to give us an immediate positive answer.

Below is the list of students and adults who have committed to the mission with their deposit. We will take deposits from students until we have enough commitments for the fifth crew. If ASP gives us a fifth crew, these students will fill it. If we don’t get a fifth crew, these students will make up our wait-list.

If you have questions or concerns, please see Pastor Brian.
