We had a great time at Spring Arbor and the Jackson's house yesterday. After talking with a few of you last night I wanted to clarify a few confusing details about all that's going on with the youth.
Compassion Experience (Dec 5-8)
First of all, starting tomorrow, The Compassion Experience will be at Wesleyan Academy in High Point. The Compassion Experience is a fantastic opportunity for you and your kids to understand more about poverty and the difference being made in the lives of the kids (Dan & Ruth) we as a youth group sponsor through Compassion. You have to reserve your spot before you go and can do that here.
Here's a video about The Compassion Experience
