- Scripture Memory Challenge: Here are the two verses Nathan & Billy have challenged us to memorize!

- Please be prepared for class to start at 9:20am next week. We hope that the extra 10 minutes will give our teachers extra time if necessary at the end of the lesson, and help us clear out of the room before the class after us needs to enter. Thanks! :)
