Shoes for Orphan Souls
In case you haven't heard yet, our church collected 768 pairs of shoes to give to Shoes for Orphan Souls! It was once again a special time during the worship center as we prayed over the shoes and asked God to reveal His love to every single child or teenager that puts on those shoes. THANK YOU for joining in the effort!!

SSM Weekly Update - October 16
New Wednesday Night SeriesWe will be kicking off a new series this Wednesday called Not a Fan. The series is inspired by Kyle Idleman's book in which he challenges readers to determine whether or not they are a fan or follower of Jesus.

Every student in the SSM will now have an opportunity to be challenged and encouraged over the next several weeks on Wednesday nights.
Remember, the Core opens at 5pm and worship starts at 6:45pm!

Wes will send out the work schedule a few days prior to the 27th.
