For the week of October 9, 2008

Hi friends! This post, along with those that follow, will be a place for you to catch up on all that is going on at ARBC Youth Rocks. Hold on tight! We've got a great fall line up and we want you to be a part! Each week will feature current youth events, recommended reading, a scripture passage of the week, concert information, and an mp3 of the week. My hope is that some of you will become contributors to the blog either by writing devotionals, music reviews or editorial comments. Enjoy!
