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. A training session will be
on Feb. 26 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.
ATTENTION ALL CONNECT
Your next
payment of $200 is due to Brett no later than Friday, March 10. The final payment
