Team Goat (Girls On A Team) is breaking up. Not because we want to, but just because Month 11 has no teams, no assigned ministry and no feedback. Here is our senior yearbook and yes we all managed to graduate.

“Arguments won’t change people. Simply giving away kindness won’t either. Only Jesus has the power to change people and it will be harder for them to see Jesus if their view of Him is blocked by our big opinions. I don’t want to get to Heaven and have Jesus tell me that my big opinions blocked someones view of Him.” Bob Goff
