Dear youth and parents:

I want to let you know about an upcoming series that we will be doing starting on January 8th, 2012, called "Pure Joy - God's Formula for Passionate Living". This series will cover topics such as purity in the mind, emotions, spirit, body, and holiness. We also may have quest speakers come in and give testimonies. If you have any questions, please feel free to E-mail or call me. This series will then end with a formal banquet, on Friday, February 17th, 2012. We will talk to you more about this banquet at a later date.

We have done this series in the past with great fun and great results, and we look forward to what God is going to do this time.

We love you all!
