Although this year has been different from many, this year has still been great for our Teen Ministry especially since Teen Council has decided to continue our Teen program throughout the year. Teen Room Tuesdays, BASIC (Brothers & Sisters in Christ), SIC (Sisters In Christ), and B&B (Bibles and Bros) are continuing while VBS & Ministry Week are starting up later in Summer. One event we always host is the Teen Input Night. It's a night for you to ask questions about the faith anonymously and for future BASIC plan- ning. From “Why do bad things happen to good people?” to “What does the pope do?”, BASIC uses this night to brainstorm future topics. This also includes ideas such as Christmas, Hallow- een, and Thanksgiving celebrations. Even if you don't have questions, BASIC is an amazing place to hang out with others, pray, and meet some great friends.

God bless, Emma Sketch EVERYDAY STEWARDSHIP - RECOGNIZE GOD IN YOUR ORDINARY MOMENTS There’s No Place Like Home Where do you get the best night’s sleep? For me, it’s in my own bed. I don’t even really know why. There’s something about the texture of the sheets, the groove I’ve worn in the pillow. The mattress seems to recognize my shape. I’ve got a job that sees me traveling often and I’ve stayed in plenty of nice places. But there’s just no sleep like the sleep you get at home. There’s a feeling that we have when we’re at home.
