It is freezing outside, here in the Urban Metro area. With record temperatures dropping below zero; moving around us-all I want to do is stay inside! Yet, with being very careful how we travel and do ministry in this winter weather, I wanted to be sure to send a big thanks, to all who support Regional Youth Ministries. (Summit, Mid-Winter Retreats, Mission Trip, Etc.)
