Vision

I was just going over a list of accomplishments that Tim Qualkenbush wrote down for the Toolbox ministry in 2015.  It was a sight to see.  Three pages of notes detailed the many, many changes that have taken place in and around our building this year.  I couldn’t do anything but smile.  God is at work.  You can hear about those accomplishments, by the way, at the Valentine Dinner this year.  The proceeds from the meal will help support the ministry’s efforts in 2016 the date night will be time well spent in more than one way.  I hope to see you all there!

While I was going throug the list, I found my mind “multi-processing.” (I know.  Surprise, surprise.)  I began thinking about the many, many other ministries who have similar lists for 2015 as well.

"If you hold to my teaching, you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free." John 8:32

There's a great mystery that God wants to reveal to all of us. He's given us plenty of clues, and this year at SuperStart! preteens will learn how to collect and connect those clues to discover the ultimate truth that Jesus talked about in John 8:32. This year, students will become detectives in the ongoing story of "SuperStart and the Mysterious Truth!” The SuperStart! team will present a mystery play in which preteens will be presented with a case to solve. Under the guidance of an expert detective, students will be invited to help solve the mystery.
