February Recap
February has been an awesome month for LYF! We’ve done a lot, but I’m always going to remember February 2025 as the month when Jayla Morgan was baptized into Christ. Next time you see Jayla congratulate her, welcome her into the family, and ask how you can pray for her as she begins her walk with the Lord! Heading into March I’m most excited about the new systems we’re putting in place to help students form intergenerational relationships at Laurel. I’m also looking forward to Solid Rock. Let me know if you want to perform!
