The Gospel Changes Everything 

The book, "Unbroken: A World War ll Story of Survival, Resilience, and Redemption" by Laura Hillenbrand, ought to be on your summer reading list. The announcement of the end of the war came to the POW's in Japan on August 20, 1945. "In the midst of running, celebrating men, Louie stood on wavering legs, emaciated, sick, and dripping wet. In his mind, two words were repeating themselves, over and over. I'm free! I'm free! I'm free!"

On the other hand, some POW's didn't know for days that the war ended. In other words, they were legally free but continued to function as prisoners. The gospel is the astonishing news that our ultimate war has come to an end. We're no longer prisoners to fear, approval, money, achievement, the past... but we're sons and daughters of the King. No matter our circumstances and feelings, in Christ, we're free! We're free! We're free!"

Intergenerational Community

Our high school youth group, is gaining more and more momentum and growing in significant ways. The group has shared leadership: Josh Brouwer, Lacey Redinger, Jeff and Marit Krueger and Carrie Sellers. The youth group meets on Tuesdays at 7 pm at Cross Sound @ the Waterfront.

Student Ministry Vision

Our church has been richly blessed with lots of families and kids. One of our top priorities is to “develop a comprehensive family ministry with an emphasis on teenage students and whole church involvement.” We’ve been praying and working hard together to make this a reality. God has blessed our efforts. Parents have been connecting in discussion groups. Student small groups are actively meeting together. Mentoring relationships are flourishing. As we look towards this coming year we are excited to see whatnew things God has in store for us. This letter is written to give us a broad outline of where we hope to go this year in Student Ministry.We want to emphasize that we are all in this together – we need your prayers, input and involvement.

Together, growing young men and women
into life-long followers of Jesus,
committed to His church, engaged in restoring God’s world.
