Week 2: If it is at all possible, live at peace with everybody.
Week 3: When you need to confront, Jesus shows the way.
Week 4: When all else fails, Jesus is still good!

Charge Weekend
Formerly known as M3 WKND this is an exciting weekend event that focuses on evangelism and getting students excited about sharing their faith. The word “charge” brings out the ideas of “charging up” the students to get out there and make a difference for the Kingdom of God and also the idea of a battle cry of, “Charge!”
