Here's What's Going On
"I tell you the truth, if you have faith as small as a mustard seed, you can say to this mountain, 'Move from here to there' and it will move. Nothing will be impossible for you."
Learn from the Masters what it takes to live the spiritual life and grow in faith and receive amazing grace. Monday evenings from 7:30 - 9:00 pm in the Youth Ministry room.
It's amazing what the saints have done and been through before they were actually saints. Figuring out where God is and how He fits in. This is for anyone and everyone who had a less than perfect life. Tuesdays after school 2:30 - 4:00 pm in the Youth Ministry room.
Reserve your space now for the annual teen retreat on November 21-23 at Camp Allegheny outside Ellwood City. The theme this year “Anatomy of a Conversion” seeks to help teens explore the beauty and glory of the truth that God offers to us while digging into the stuff that keeps us in darkness. With an honest look inward, we can look upward, to be part of the transformation of all creation. We have great music, yummy food, a cool camp and all the makings of a memorable experience for everyone involved. For more information, contact Janet at 724.941.9587.
