Bring It On: A Class for 8th Graders

Starting this Sunday, May 19th, we will be kicking off Bring It On, a class for 8th grade students to prepare them for the trials and temptations of high school through biblical instruction, relationships, and fun! Regardless of schooling, this is a pivotal transition in the life of any teenager; this opportunity should not be missed! There will be four sessions on "fitting in", purity, power of words, and forming good habits. The students will hear from high school pastors, youth leaders, Reality staff, and current high school students. The class is free with lunch included. No registration required, simply show up.
Here is a video that gives more of the vision for the class.
Dates: May 19th, May 26th, June 2nd, and June 9th (all Sundays)
Location: Targoni's, 5591 Canalino Dr. Carpinteria, CA 93013

MIssionary Introduction: Kaylee

This Sunday, on the Santa Barbara Campus, we have the blessing of introducing Kaylee, who is preparing to return to the Middle East in July for long-term ministry. Kaylee has been ministering to college students mostly from a Muslim background for the past couple years and after taking this past year to raise support and receive more training, she is excited to return for a long-term commitment. Jesus said, "the harvest is plentiful but the laborers are few," so we are rejoicing in her call and obedience to serve God in an area of the world where many do not know Jesus. Please pray for Kaylee to be kept in perfect peace as she prepares to leave. Kaylee will be available at the mission booth at the Santa Barbara campus
this Sunday.
