Our annual youth winter retreat, Snowbound, will be taking place this year at Wesley Woods on March 26th and 27th. Though the retreat will look a bit different this year, we still believe that God will show up in a powerful way. Students in 8th-12th grades who are looking to grow with God are invited to attend. For all the details and to register a student, please visit our website or contact Sarah.

SOAP Bookmark: Tomorrow we start a new month of our SOAP reading plan, including some New Testament and Old Testament readings. The Old Testament book of the prophet Hosea shows how his marriage and family life demonstrate God’s faithfulness when we are unfaithful. In the New Testament we are reading Paul’s letter to the Colossians. Then we will read the account of Jesus’ life in the Gospel of Mark as we prepare ourselves for the celebration of Resurrection Sunday on April 4. Printed bookmarks are available, and electronic ones can be found on the Corry First app or the website. Personal Spiritual Growth
