OUTDOOR SERVICES
Due to the Big Woods body being blessed with young families and little ones each of us also has a responsibility for their safety.  We want to especially encourage drivers to be cautious and careful during our summer services to ensure the safety of everyone, especially our children.  Please follow the directions of the deacons when pulling in for our services.  Please be aware of surroundings when leaving the service and use extreme caution when backing up your vehicle.

YOUTH SPRINTER RETREAT

This weekend marks one of the most important events in the lives of the teens at Big Woods. The 9th – 12th Navigate Students will be at the annual Sprinter Retreat this weekend and will be focusing on developing a biblical understanding of God’s Will. Pray that they can step back and disconnect from the busyness of life. Pray that leaders can develop solid relationships with the students and speak into their lives.  Pray that students develop and grow their relationships with others in the group, to challenge and encourage one another. Above all, pray that they grow in their relationship with Jesus Christ and that everything that happens this weekend is for His Glory.
