NEXTGEN MINISTRY SPACE GRAND OPENING
Sunday, march 6th, after the morning service
Please join us upstairs in the Family Ministry Center to see our new space for middle and high school students, College & Career and young adults. We are excited to see how this new space will be used by the church and our community. Please join with us as we celebrate God’s goodness and provision in this project.

Student Ministry
The student ministry is excited for the month of February as we prepare to say goodbye to the old Student Center, but before we do, we have some fun events planned for our middle school and high school students that will take place in the old space. These events will take place on Sunday afternoon, February 20 & 27, right after our morning service. The Student Ministry Team hopes your student will join us for these fun events, if you would like further information please contact Zach Walsh.

Weekday Preschool
Weekday preschool re-enrollment for current students begins in early February. Registration for new students will be open the following week.
