Jan11-Macomb Happenings














The start of the new year rang in some new ministry opportunities for us. Most notably, we kicked off Junior High (Grades 6-8) Campus Life. Even with three sports events for students in that age bracket, we still kicked off with a dozen students. Campus Life meets each Tuesday night, from 6-8pm with dinner included. Leaders for this program are: Karen Kuras, Angelica Markey, Caleb Markey, Phyllis Walters and Lauren Surprenant.

The Senior High Discipleship Group has changed its meeting time to meet Monday evenings from 7-9pm. This program, “Roar” - is based on the book “Roaring Lambs: A Gentle Plan to Radically Change Your World” by Bob Briner. Who knew Flash Mobs could be used for Christian purposes? (We do).

We continue to offer Friday pizza lunches. We have decided to postpone our Thursday after-school time until after the weather warms up - after Spring Break.

We are pleased to announce our Student Leadership Team:

High School Leadership Team: Becky Scott President; Justin Derry, Vice President; Laurie Daniel, Senior High Secretary; Kassi Groff, Student Representative; Chelsea Townsend, Media Assistant; Jacob Petty, Advertising Assistant

Junior High Leadership Team: Claire Brown, Jr. High Team President; Jared Carle, Jr. High secretary; Kaitlyn Cook, Jr. High Treasurer; Colton Markey, Gr. 6 Representative; Brianna Petty, Gr.7 Representative; Michael Herron, Gr. 8 Representative

Want to Tutor?: There is a great need for tutoring of students. In order to launch a tutoring program we need people able to tutor in math and/or physics. We are hoping to offer after school, and perhaps evening, tutoring opportunities for Junior and Senior High students. If you would be interested in sharing your knowledge, please email Lauren with the subject matter and your availability.

The highlight of this month as a young woman decided to place her trust in Jesus! Praise God
