We had a great service last night! We kicked off our new series, In The Beginning. In this series we are covering the basics of our faith. We are also having a large small group time discussing common questions about God, the Bible, and our faith. Last night Pastor Matt challenged the group with Genesis 1:26-27, and living the way God created us, in the image of God.

We had a really great service on Wednesday night.
We ended the How To Survive A Zombie Attack with Part 4:Live. Matt challenged everyone with living out the life God planned for us and living it to the fullest, not just surviving, but thriving! We also ended our 24 hour fast with a great “break-fast” catered by Chef Adam. And we set our goal for what we want to give to missions in 2012.
It is very exciting to see our great students growing in their faith, and awesome to see God move in their lives! What a privilege!
Next Wednesday we begin a new series called Soundtrack Of My Life. We are starting off the series with a great guest speaker and a combined night, both Jr. high and Sr. High will meet together from 6:30-8:30.
We are looking forward to starting a new series, and seeing God move through peoples stories and music.
We are enjoying our How To Survive A Zombie Attack series!
Wednesday was part 3: Attack. We talked about prayer being our greatest weapon, fasting, and giving to others. Matt challenged the group this week to pray and fast, and come together next Wednesday and set a goal for giving for the year 2012. We give to missions through Speed The Light. STL helps to provide missionaries with the things they need to spread to gospel to the world. You can find out more about Speed The Light here http://stl.ag.org/
