Lifehouse Concert Rescheduled for June 25 Unfortunately, the venue for our upcoming Lifehouse concert (the Tabernacle) suffered damage due to the recent downtown Atlanta tornado. They are working frantically to repair and recover from the setback. Please keep them in your prayers. For us, this means they rescheduled the concert for Wednesday, June 25th. The good news… Our tickets are secured and can be used for this later date. I will send an email on Sunday, June 1st, at 9:00 PM to release the 24 tickets for reservation. You must reply to that email to reserve a ticket. Cost is $30/student. Because of demand, you will be unable to reserve a ticket for someone else (unless you are the parent/guardian). Thanks for your patience. This show will be worth the wait!
Weekly Chick-Fil-A Morning Bible Studies
The Fishbowl Sunday Youth Experience Join us each Sunday this fall in the youth area for a lively morning of worship, praise, and discussion. We begin our experience in separate “schools” (5th-6th: Room 122; 7th-8th: Room 120; 9th-12th: Room 121) for an age appropriate breakdown of the weekly theme. This will take place from 10:10 AM – 10:45 AM. Clips from television, movies, poems, and songs help us apply the message to our daily lives. We then conclude in The Fishbowl (Room 121) with song, prayer, and Scripture as a larger community.
