Please bring extra money for meals and spending money (if desired). To sign up, call Elizabeth (813-8700).
Prayers for Casey McCurley: As many of you know, Casey was involved in a skateboarding accident on Monday evening. He is recovering at home but could use our prayers! Please pray for his speedy recovery and for his family as they care for him. We love you, Casey!
