An amazing Good Friday service!!

Hopefully you were able to be a part of the worship service this last Friday night. What a great time of reflection, praise, and worship we had together!! And Allison and Amber both used their talents to make it an even MORE special event, with Allison giving a moving soliloquy about her faith, while Amber draped a royal cloth around the cross as a beautiful tribute to the sacrifice made by Jesus for each of us, all while former teen Esther sang a moving rendition of "Your Grace Still Amazes Me". It was a poignant reminder of how EACH one of us stands in the shadow of the cross, each of us covered by the blood that ran down it, awaiting each of us to accept His grace. Awesome.

New dress code!!

We got to go see several of you in some recent band competitions and noticed that you guys can clean up really nice!!! Surge-E-YO was in a UIL competition while Sierra and Makayla performed at a school concert!! I think this will be the new dress code on Wednesday nights!!!

Deer Creek Retreat with Georgetown Church of the Nazarene!

While the weather could have been a little less frigid and a little more sunshiney, our retreat was STILL a huge success!! You can tell by looking at the pictures below that it was filled with rock wall climbing, singing, fellowship, zip lining, and "Leap of faith"ing!! Thanks again to Georgetown Church for inviting us along!! Let's do it again soon!!

Pastor Huff was our special speaker and he did a great job!
