Every year thousands upon thousands of students between the ages of 18 and 25, from around the world, come together for a few days to worship with one another, hear wellknown speakers share the word of God, as well as spend time in community groups where the students have the opportunity to share life with one another and make long lasting relationships. The students were challenged by the speakers to become colaborers with Christ because as Luke 10:2 says, "The harvest is plentiful, but the workers are few. Ask the Lord of the harvest, therefore, to send out workers into his harvest field." Our five students all said they want to become laborers and workers for Christ within their families, the Youth Ministry, and within the SPBC family. They are all excited to share their experiences with you about the way God was moving in their lives. Lives are forever changed and leaders of the next generation are rising to proclaim the name of Jesus Christ to the nation. Attending the conference were Scott McClure, Jason & Megan Jones, Claire Cottrill, Alex Conley, Courtney Conley, Bailey Surbaugh, Jacob Valentine, and Emily Bailey. 1655 Blizzard Drive Parkersburg, WV 26101 304.422.SPBC (304.422.7722) 304.428.8818 (fax) www.spbc-wv.org Upward Sunday Next Week On Sunday, February 8th we are inviting our Upward Basketball players and their families to come and worship with us during the 10:30 service. Please be in prayer for this event, as 50 families indicated no church affiliation on their registration forms. Upward helps us to connect to our world and hopefully helps us connect others to God! Two-liter bottles of pop and packages of cookies are needed for this Sunday. Any donations would be greatly appreciated and may be left at the Information Desk. Thank you in advance for your prayers and generosity.
