PRIME TIME RETREAT REGISTRATION DEADLINE IS TOMORROW!“Create in me a clean heart, O God, and put a new and right spirit within me.” Psalm 51:10This year’s PrimeTime Spring Retreat will be at beautiful Camp Campers, a very inspirational setting and the perfect spot to talk about creation and growth. We will look at the glory of God’s continuing creation and try to discover how we play a part in it. The retreat is April 19th-21st.The cost of the retreat includes five chef-prepared meals and two nights’ lodging in hotel-style rooms that are among the best in Central Texas. The rooms, meeting hall, and dining hall are all very close together and connected by sidewalks so not much walking is required. The cost is $190 for a single occupancy room and $170 per person for a double occupancy room. We need to have your $50 deposits in by Sunday, April 10, so we can prepare the correct number of retreat materials.If you would like to attend or if you have questions, please contact Mary Helen MacAllister at (512) 288-6362 or email her at mary.macallister4@gmail.com.

This Month at True Student MinistriesHave you ever had a moment where you knew you needed to step up? No matter the situation, you knew that you had two choices: either step up to the opportunity...or step back and miss it altogether. Whether you’re in middle school, high school or beyond, you have the chance to start becoming a step-up kind of person right now. This was exactly where a man named Joshua found himself in the Old Testament. Joshua was just a normal guy facing some really challenging circumstances. Through his story, we can learn to step up and reach the potential God has for us the process.
