Jesus said, "I will build my church…"
WEAVE is the second part of a four-year series we have entitled THE WAY. WF 2014 emphasized the importance and connection we must have with the church. This connection is not an option. We must be about sharing with our young people (and our older people) how important it is for them to be a part of the church. The weekend together was designed to produce love, appreciation, commitment, respect, and a priority in our teens as well as renewal for those of us who are older, for the church. This page is dedicated to providing resourses to keep the WEAVE theme going throughout 2014. Blessings to each of you as you encourage each other and tell others about Jesus.

It isn’t a set of ritual acts. It isn’t the performance abilities of teachers or musicians. Church is the life of Jesus on display through his people – with Jesus functioning as head and all his people as various parts of his body in the world. Read more here.
