Feb. 4th Note

• God’s Word Affects Our Decisions
  This week we will begin a new Christ Light book titled, “Christian Life Planning.” This book focuses on how God’s Word helps us make some of life’s more difficult decisions. Our lessons this week have the students examine their God given gifts and talents and then look at how our Lord would have us use them.
