Student Ministry Moment

As I was having my quiet time this week, I was reminded of how different my life was two years ago. In December 2016 Aly and I were saying goodbye to people that I had known for 8 years. We were looking at moving to a new place and excited about the the new possibilities that life would throw our way. We were expectant parents moving to a new church where we had no idea what would be ahead of us. I think all of this has been flooding my brain as I see how many blessings we have received in the past two years. Whether it is the growth of our student ministry, the blessing of becoming parents or finally being able to plant roots with our new home, it is overwhelming to see the amazing things that God has done in our lives. I hope that in everything I never lose sight of how blessed we truly are.  
 
As we come into this season of advent with anticipation for the amazing gift of a child in a manger, may we remember the places that we have been blessed and pass that on to others.   
 
O come, O come Emmanuel for God is with us.
 
Blessings,
John McClure

SENIOR HIGH
 
Got questions? Whether we're asking them out loud or swirling them around silently in our minds, the truth is, we all have questions. And this week, we'll address one of those questions head on. Because when it comes to tough questions, it's time to start talking.
 
Week Two:Following Jesus can make your life better.
