- Update on Sylvia Yanez: Dear brothers and sisters, First of all, thanks to those of you who have visited and spent time with my mom, she truly enjoys getting to see people. She had her first immunotherapy treatment; this is being done to shrink tumors and slow down the spread of the cancer. She did very well, and she will have another treatment in 21 days. She continues to stay strong emotionally and spiritually and I'm so proud of her! If you would like to visit, please text Viviana at 704-737-8001 to arrange a time. Sylvia continues to get easily tired and now has to be careful to not be exposed to viruses. If you would like to send a card, please send to Sylvia Yanez 11225 Laurel View Dr. Charlotte, NC 28273 Love in Christ, Viviana Kesel

Items are being collected on Sundays and Wednesdays, now until Sunday, March 9th. Again, the date of the auctions is March 23rd. Please show your support by joining our auctions in order to bid on some really great auction items and help us raise funds for our youth!

- Mentorship: We all have heard the saying, "It takes a village." Our youth today are regularly faced with challenges and pressure from peers, social media, academics and mental health. Some of these challenges require professional help but many can be calmed/ overcome by our collective efforts and support to encourage our youth and help them to make good choices and grow into great citizens within their schools and their communities. Mentorship makes this possible and godly mentorship can be even more rewarding. If you are interested in helping our youth, whether those entails helping someone with homework, taking a group hiking, fishing or camping or simply going out for coffee, tea, bubble tea or window shopping in the mall, please contact Robert or Davina Lausen. Note: anyone who volunteers to help must complete a background check.
Teen Ministry:
- Living Loved (for GIRLS): Charlotte Teen Ministry is looking to have a mini retreat over the course of 3-months (March-May) for teen girls. We want to speak God's truth over them, "you are beautiful, you are talented, you are priceless, you are loved." Using the THERE {4} Gathering Teen Conference Livestream materials we will host 3 sleepovers where we will worship, hear God's word, connect, pray, laugh and maybe even cry. Overall, it will be a BLESSED good time. More information is forthcoming. If you have questions, please contact Davina Lausen.
