When Kent visits, he'll be focusing on "Livin' It Up!" and John 10:10
High School… Wow, so many decisions are asked of you. Decisions about how you’re going to live and what you’re going to do with your life… school, college, work. It makes us want to throw up our hands and say, “Just let me live my life!” This weekend we’ll explore what it means to faithfully “live it up” at church, school, home, at the mall, on the playing field… where ever you find yourself. Together we’ll start to understand how to live our life in the way God’s calling us to… Because when we know Jesus, we can “live it up” like no one else!
