HELP UPDATE THE FRAMES ART GALLERY  Hey!  I know that God has filled this ministry with a bunch of  CREATIVE people.  Those who like to draw, paint, write, sculpt and craft all sorts of wonderful creations.  We want to display YOUR artwork in the stairwell leading up to the Birch Room!  If you have a poem, photo, painting, drawing, ceramic project, sculpture, or other piece of art that we can hang on the wall or put on a shelf, we want to display it in the Frames Art Gallery!!!

::MAKE YOUR OWN MIX CD FOR THE JUKEBOX I know that this week will find you sitting around doin' nothin' at least for SOME of the week.  So make yourself useful and express yourself through your music library.  Make your own CD for the Student Ministry Jukebox. So when you come to Bible Class, Sanctuary, or any other Youth Group event, you can play some of your favorite tunes!  Here is also a way for you to leave a little bit of you behind.  We have space for 100 CDs.
