We are kicking off summer with our first STIR nigh

We are kicking off summer with our first STIR night. Based on Hebrews 10:24-25:
And let us consider how to stir up one another to love and good works, not neglecting to meet together, as is the habit of some, but encouraging one another, and all the more as you see the Day drawing near.

This is a weekly time we gather on our campus to enjoy a meal, music and worship. Our community always comes together to help make these special for our kids.

Thank you First Baptist Church Amarillo Fostering Hope group for coming year after year and providing a delicious meal.

Thank you Christian with Messiah's House for the incredible worship.
