Hi Everyone!
Perhaps you found it before I did! Or we have had two places to post content on the tabs which I never noticed until today. In addition to each tab site having a red plus icon (meaning “add”) on the right side of the screen, we now have the same red plus icon at the top of the Main page left column to the right of “What’s New?” A list of tabs drop down when you click on the plus sign. Just click on the tab you want to post something.

Youth Ministry Opportunity
Yesterday, I had the opportunity to participate in our Student Ministry Parent & Guardian luncheon. David Reed, our student minister, asked me to prepare a list of Enrichment Center books for parents and guardians. I followed up asking if I could be there with some of the books. When I got there to set them up, he asked if I would share information about the Enrichment Center at the end of the luncheon. Click here for the handout and let’s share our age group ministry opportunities.
