The Cadets are going sledding on Wednesday, January 2nd from 6:30-8:00pm. Please meet at the Union and remember to dress warm and bring your sleds!
Attention WOMEN: Everyone wants to be vibrant and productive, living a fruitful life. The secret to the fruitful life is in our relationship with Jesus. Such qualities include love, gentleness, peace, goodness, kindness, and self-control. If you're looking for this kind of fruit in your life, Discover The Fruit of The Spirit is the study for you. Coffee Break will be starting again Wednesday, January 9, 2013. Nursery is provided from birth to 3 and Story Hour is provided for ages 3 to school age.
