YOUTH

Students have studied, studied, studied and met their exams with a head full of knowledge and a heart warm with the challenge of a job well done.  Right?  Anyone?  Well -- at least our students have survived... but BARELY.

As one semester draws to a close we look with anticipation to new class schedules, new teachers, and new study partners.  While some things change, others remain the same.  Royal City Youth will be meeting Friday, February 3rd 3:30-9:00.  We’re Iooking  forward to seeing you all there.

**Update on Kaelyn** We truly appreciate everyone's thoughts and prayers over the past few weeks.  While she is continuing her antibiotic treatments and will still need to have some tests done, Kaelyn is a content and happy little girl.  Thanks!      jon.d.warner@gmail.com  or text/voice to 905.341.3459
