We are into the swing of things on Wednesday nights with youth. We have had two game nights as well as the students have been studying the book of Daniel. While studying the book of Daniel, we have challenged the students to memorize verses that will help them witness to their friends about Jesus. We have had a few students take the challenge! I have attached the verses for you to be able to see at the end of the email.
We have a few events coming up this month that we want to make sure you know about so you and your student can be involved...
Sunday, October 25th
We will be having our annual Lord's Harvest Scavenger Hunt from 5:00-7:00pm (Dinner will be served!)
at Jay and Samantha Emory's home. After a great meal, the students will divide into teams and canvas the town in search of food and paper goods to be donated to the Lord's Harvest in El Reno. Adult Leaders will be driving the students as they go to friends', teachers, family and neighbors to gather food! It is always a fun time and a great way to give back to the community!!!
