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.
