Awe & Wonder:  The Bible Through a Child's Eye
A new fall sermon series begins on August 26 as our students prepare to head back to school.  Awe & Wonder:  The Bible Through a Child's Eye will explore some of the most loved Bible stories, and those stories will be told by our children.  The kids have been working all summer telling these stories, and you won't want to miss seeing the fruits of their labor.

Please sign-up at the Connection Center to pray for the upcoming Epiphany, a 3-day prison ministry weekend (Labor Day) at the girl's unit in Brownwood.  You can also help support the weekend by purchasing a $5 meal ticket; help feed the girls & remind them that they are not forgotten. Please support this life-changing ministry!
