This November, we had the honor of local police officer Jason Shilling as our speaker. He told entertaining stories about his time in service, explained the positions, hours, and commitment of his unique job, and discussed the role of being a Christian in the field.

March 2025 Meeting
For our last meeting of the year, we had Andrea Sexton, a lawyer, as our speaker. She was amazing, and dove into into all the ins and outs of law, covering what law is, the process to becoming a lawyer, different types of law, different types of lawyers, different types of cases, and even some of her personal journey.
This was a very informative session, full of fun and passion, and was a great last meeting! This year went by so quickly!
To end, we had devotions by Ben Ronk, and we discussed the end of year event for next month.

January 2025 Meeting
This month we had the privilege of Brad Townsend as speaker. Mr. Townsend told us about his experience as a structural engineer, and answered any questions we had on the subject.
We were very grateful to Mr. Townsend for delivering a great presentation despite the snowy weather.
December 2024 Meeting
This month, we served at Samaritan's Inn, a place for the homeless to not only nourish their bodies, but also their soul in hearing the word of God. In their words, they are 'A Ministry Feeding the Needy With Truth and Bread'.
Upon arriving, we listened to a sermon. After the sermon, we helped serve food and unbox. Once everyone else left, we did various cleaning jobs and set out food for the next day.
It was a wonderful chance to serve. To learn more about Samaritan's Inn, visit here.
November 2024 Meeting
For our November meeting, we had the honor of Jon Montoya as speaker. He was a missionary in Honduras for many years, teaching the native "theists" about the glory and word of God, sometimes even hiking for hours through mountains to reach native tribes. A theist is someone who believes that there is a God, but doesn't go any deeper with their faith. Mr. Montoya shared his experience teaching others the Christian faith, and how it shaped his own relationship with God.
It was a delight to have Mr. Montoya, and a special shoutout to Caleb Giraudeau for contacting him.
