Good afternoon Friends at Connections!

We had a great turnout last night. We had at least 430+ people went through our lines for hotdogs and water. I think this is why we have chosen to be a part of Light the Night as we are able to make an impact in our community. Again, I wanted to thank everyone who show up and support the vision of being "Light and Salt" for our community last night.

Also, I just want to let you know that the College and Young Adults retreat went very well last weekend. We had a great worship and small group experience among 70+ College & young adults within our TM/CLC churches. I am blessed to hear their testimonies. I hope you can join us next year.

Just a friendly reminder our "40 Days in the Word" video session will return this Sunday at 9am in Rm 208. Come to be bless by His word and learn how we are able to make a real difference in the lives of those in needs.

Good morning Friends at Connections!

I had a wonderful retreat at Hume Lake this past week. My soul, spirit and body is refreshed and renewed. I saw a deer wandering in the woods then run in front of me as I did my morning walk around the lake. It's amazing. God is so good! I am encouraged everyone of you to take a break from work or school and spend some time alone with God.

Anyhow, we will continue our "40 Days in the Word" video session with Pastor Tullian Tchividjian from Coral Ridge Presbyterian Church in Ft. Lauderdale, FL this sunday. He will be teaching on I John 2:3-6.

Good News! We have find a date for our College/Young adult retreat: Friday October 26- Sunday October 28 at 1000 Pines. http://www.thousandpines.com/programs/youngadultretreat/ This was originally planned as a 1000 Pines program event in September, but they did not have enough signed up and decided to cancel it.
