The time is finally here for Basic Training (April 19-21)! As your children prepare to come, I have attached a “What To Bring” list so they will know what they can and can’t bring. Please check your email for any additional forms and/or waivers that need to be completed. Check-in will begin next Friday in the gym @ 5:30 PM.

I would like you to be in prayer for Basic Training. There is a lot of planning that goes into this weekend, and my ultimate desire is that the children will experience Christ in a real and personal way. Pray for your kid(s) and all the leaders who will be spending one-on-one time with your children. I am looking forward to seeing your kiddos at Basic Training!

P.S. 

If your kids have a baseball/softball game or need to leave Basic Training for any reason, please be sure to find me and sign them out. They will also need to be signed back in once they return from their event.
