YOUTH MINISTRY NEWS This past weekend 8 of us went to Senior High Retreat at the Wesley Center in Woodworth. This year's theme verse was Job 14:7: For there is hope for a tree, if it is cut down, that it will sprout again, and that its shoots will not cease. We talked about trees and how their roots go deep into the ground. What does it mean to be rooted in our faith? Are we attending church, reading the bible, being in prayer with God? Our roots are what hold us to God. How deep are our roots?
