Discipleship Focus

At the end of week one, we asked students what their biggest takeaway was. They read about the kind of relationship God wants with them and who God says they are. As they read, many realized that some of the bricks in their foundation of faith were placed half a brick off and asked God to reset those bricks. We are encouraged by the strides they are already taking and are excited to see their foundations strengthen through the next chapter!

Discipleship Focus week one is in the books!

This week students built community in such a way that no one feels like a stranger anymore. Some even feel like they’ve known each other all their lives, not just a week!

Even before they arrived, God was working on their hearts, and He will continue to work all things for their good (Romonas 8:28). We believe that what God has started, He will bring to completion until the day of Christ Jesus (Philippians 1:6). We’re expecting God to be God, and he will not disappoint!

Some snow shots at Notch Pines! We’re loving to see the trees and swinging bridge covered in the snow❄️ Just thinking about students walking across this bridge in 4 short months as they get home from work!
