Connections is the place for St. Paul high school youth and friends to get together and encounter God through Scripture, song, prayer, and one another. In addition to our regular Bible studies, in the year ahead you can anticipate fun monthly outings, service opportunities, a winter retreat, guest speakers (a series we’re calling “Lives of the Saints”), and movie nights, all culminating in a mission/adventure trip next summer. (And this year, eat dinner before; we’ll provide the snacks and drinks.) Niles Eastman (936-9296; neastman@gmail.com) and I are at the helm for 2007-08, along with a supporting cast of leaders like: Bryon Noeske, Mary Frank, Lisa Jackson, and senior Emily Bergman. We’ve already been hatching some big plans—but some of the best ideas are still in your head—so come to Connections this month and make your voice heard     Mark Williamson, Associate Pastor     mwilliamson.stpaul@sbcglobal.net
