April 2007 INCHWESTA

Have you ever thought about working with the youth ministry here at ARBC? If your answer is “yes”, “maybe”, or “why would I ever want to do that?” we will be having a meeting just for you! The meeting will be Sunday, April 29, at 4:00 p.m. in the youth house. This could be a weekly leadership opportunity where you lead a small group or it could be an occasional type of leadership. If you think you might be interested or you just want to hear about our passion and plan for INCHWESTA I would encourage you to come to this meeting. We have an amazing group of students who are looking to grow in their faith and reach out to their friends, and we would love for you to be a part of this amazing ministry opportunity. Hope to see you on the 29th!
