Come Ye Apart and Rest
{password}With many plans, ideas, requirements, deadlines, ambitions and goals comes the reluctance to take a step back and rest for a while. For a long while I could not seem to relax and just spend time with the family. I have found the key is in leaving the house. Some how even if I do…

Outreach
On Friday evening I led a group of 6 teens and 3 adults in an attempt to witness to teens in the area. We walked all over Woodford and Christine (two housing areas near us). Any teens we saw we approached spoke to about the Gospel and meetings at the church. Later in the evening we…

Youth Outreach – ALIVE
God willing this evening we will begin a fresh drive for Teen Evangelism. Our children's meetings seem to go well and though we have room for growth and improvement we have a good base from which to work. Our teen's meetings have not gone so well. Along the path the teen's ministry has lost its…
