Our CONNECT STUDENT MINISTRIES
is starting a new Sunday School model
on March 5 called CONNECTIONS. We need volunteers
to help with set-up and take-down of various stage equipment
every Sunday. There are two training sessions to choose
from – one today and the other on Feb. 26 – both after Sunday School in the gym.
This is a once a month flexible commitment! Email brett@osyouth.com
or call Brett at 447-1246, ext. 261, to sign up to help!
What is CONNECTIONS?
This high-energy, interactive, and small-group based Sunday School model will feature a worship band, a talk by an adult
leader, occasional testimonies, small group time, and lots of chances to learn
about God in a little different way. The
small groups will meet for the second half of the morning and will be
age-based…meaning Jr. High will be with Jr. High and Sr. High with Sr.
High. If you have questions about this
ministry, talk to Brett or email him at brett@osyouth.com.
THE SEVEN SOLUTIONS FOR PREVENTING BURN-OUT IN PARENTS class is now being offered again on Thursday evenings in the ECDC for those who were unable to attend
