Good Afternoon,
Thanks to all of you who were at our opening bonfire for Sunday night small groups. Wednesday night small groups kick off on... Wednesday ;) We'll meet outside (weather permitting) and we too will have a bonfire. We hope to see all of you Wednesday nighters there.
Finally, if you know of a family/families who still haven't registered for middle and high school small groups please send them my way.
Let me know if you have any questions or concerns.
