Student Pastor Dane Wilkerson joined us for our November Church Council meeting. We shared his words about some exciting ongoing events last week, but this week, we’d like to share what he sees on the horizon! Our Student Ministry is looking ahead to D-Now, a retreat, camp, and several outreach opportunities, such as serving food at Christian Challenge at UNM and joining in the efforts of LifeQuest, an at-risk student program. Our opportunities are increasing which means our needs are increasing. Pastor Dane communicated the need for adults to step up and volunteer to help. Please pray about it, then contact the church or talk to Pastor Dane personally about where you can get plugged in. In addition, please pray for more space for our students, for the upcoming events to spread the love of Christ and to make disciples, and for more students to continue to join this group! What a blessing it is to see God at work in this ministry!
