Help Needed-Students:

We are in need of students to help with occasional projects around the office after school and during breaks. Please talk to Marcus if interested.
We are always looking for more students to be a part of our worship teams, especially guitar and keyboard. If you are interested please contact Lucas using the information above.

Help Needed-Parents:

We are always looking for more parents to help out in a variety of ways both with students and behind the scenes. Our current areas of high need are teachers (Walkabout, Bible Study, & Sunday School), phone calls and other office help, more leaders for Wednesday night programs (especially high school) and drivers & chaperones for special events and trips.
We need more teachers for Walkabout and Saturday Night Bible study. Curriculum provided and teaching commitment is only once a month!

Please let Marcus know if you can help in any of these ways.

Devotional:

No devotional this week...think about the power of the resurrection in your daily lives!
