The pool party scheduled for today has been cancelled due to a problem with the pool equipment. The party will be rescheduled soon, possibly next week.
Tonight we had a great Youth Rally with the Praise Team and testimonies from the NYC Mission Team. The Drama Team also had a skit showing the difficulties we will face trying to witness to others. We need to remember that Jesus is always there with us and the struggles will be worth it in the end!
Due to bad weather, the volleyball scheduled for tonight at the picnic grounds is cancelled.
