The group started with about 15 applicants, conducted Skype interviews with five and have narrowed the field to two. Both of these final prospects will be on campus over the next several weeks for a face to face with teachers, elders, parents and senior ministry staff. We feel confident that one of these candidates will become our new principal; however if we determine that neither of these two is a good match, we will continue our search. Thank you for your support and prayers during this process. We will keep you updated as we endeavor to find the person God has chosen to lead our school. Project Godway- A Ministry Opportunity for Girls Ages 11-14 Project Godway will be a fun time of Godly mentoring for our tween and teen girls. The focus is on Jesus’ purpose for women and is facilitated from the Bible using some things that girls love; fashion and crafts! This fun time is a ministry of Face to Face and will be on Friday nights from 6:00-7:45pm in the Grace gym. The schedule and a list of needed craft items (by donation) can be found at: http://www.projectgodway.com/ If you have any questions please contact Pastor Scott at [email protected], or phone: 760-213-0854 Love Offering for “Lifebooks” For the past two months The Stand (high school youth) have been handing out “Lifebooks” on their campuses. The “Lifebook” is a small paperback book that explains our fall into sin, our need for a savior, and contains the complete gospel of John. There are also some biblical answers to tough questions. The “Lifebooks” are a ministry of Gideon’s International designed for teenagers. They were free to us, but the Gideon’s ask for a freewill love offering to help offset the cost of $1 each. Our offering officially takes place January 26-27. A great opportunity to support our youth! If you have any question please contact Scott Gary or the church office.
