LWY @ Forney Home

Dear Living Word Youth, as a reminder, we'll be meeting at the Forney home (8825 W. Bancroft Ave, Toledo, OH) tonight. If you would like to swim in their pond, please bring a modest bathing suit and towel. There will also be a game of volleyball going on too. So come, bring a friend and join us for worshiping God, learning and applying His Word, giving thanks through prayer, and enjoying each other's fellowship. We'll see you at 6:15 PM.
