Every once in a while it is important to spend some time finding out what makes this church what it is. The senor high youth are going to spend some time searching for all the cool things in this building that help us better serve our God and community on Sunday, October 18 at %:45-7:30 PM. Oh, and we will probably have some cool prizes for the winners of the big scavenger hunt. BRING FRIENDS!!!!!!!
