LYF Update
March Recap
Due to Spring Break, March is usually a less eventful month for LYF, but we still had a lot of great things happening! This past Wednesday we were able to assemble close to 100 homeless care packages. Make sure and grab one of these from the lobby so that you can give them out as needed. We also had tons of fun at our guy/girl sleepovers. Big thanks to the White’s and the Thomas’s for hosting. My personal ministry highlight from March was being able to plug our three new Christians into our mentor/discipleship program. Every newly baptized believer in LYF is paired with a mentor for the first year of their walk with the Lord. The new Christian and their mentor spend a year practicing 12 different spiritual disciplines together. Big thanks to Hannah Durham, Missy Clark, and Jennifer Ray for agreeing to be mentors to our new sisters in Christ:Elli Thomas, Ireland Gibbons, and Ava Bailey. Be in prayer for them as they learn to practice the way of Jesus.
