AN UPDATE TO THE INFORMATION APPEARING IN THE AUGUST COMPASS: The TRAILBLAZERS Sunday School Class, led by Rick and Scarlett Pierson, is studying Bill Hybels’ Too Busy Not to Pray. In this study Hybels asks the question, “Do you have trouble finding time to pray?” So many things clamor for your attention that time for God and time to pray often seem impossible to fit into packed days and nights. Find out how to slow down, listen to God, and find refreshment in His presence. Trailblazers meet in Rm 108.
*JUNIOR HIGH SUNDAY SCHOOL TEACHER/S NEEDED
An opportunity exists for volunteer or volunteers wishing to teach junior high age students. This may be an opportunity to teach weekly, or, if multiple volunteers express interest, an opportunity to rotate teaching. Please consider whether the
time is right for you to either singly or partner with a friend in Christ to contribute to the spiritual growth of our young people.
