Coming During Lent - DIGGIN IN!
Are you a parent of an Axis student who also has younger children? Have you ever been asked to mentor and felt like you couldn't because of your younger children? Or maybe you have mentored, but often wondered if there was something for your younger child? Wonder no more! This year during Lent from 6:15 to 7:00 on Wednesday nights we will be having DIGGIN IN! Details are still in the works, but the lessons will be aimed toward our Lenten focus and will be age appropriate for all people who are Sunday school age. More details will be available at a later date, but we wanted to make sure that you knew this opportunity was out there.
