If you had or have school-aged children, you know how hard it is to keep kids entertained over their summer break. This makes the summer a key time in student ministry because kids want to spend more time with each other and our staff.

Women's Ministry Women's Discipleship just wrapped up our year-long study in the book of Mark. It was a meaningful study on the life and ministry of Jesus and the implications for us in our own lives. Studying the content of God's Word in the context of community is a beautiful blessing.

We think of the things that we would like to start doing, do better, or cease doing all together. We feel that something about us is not enough.
