WoW

Develops spiritual growth, fun and fellowship.

Many activities are being planned for the next few months such as a Hawaiian BBQ, Church picnic at the drive-in, trips to Crystal Cathedral to see the Glory of Easter, baseball games, retreats, etc.

We�ll also engage in some spiritually enriching activities such as team Bible competitions.

We want this to be a spiritually enriching and fun ministry for everyone therefore we welcome your suggestions. Please feel free to contact the office or Brent Francis with ideas of activities you would like us to do or places you might like to go. Also, we are not going to meet on Wednesdays exclusively so don�t confine your ideas to just Wednesday evenings.

Watch for dates of upcoming events.
