COMMUNITY SPOTLIGHT
Volunteer for Young Life Norcross
Young Life, a relational high school ministry, recently opened a chapter at Greater Atlanta Christian School. The group is in desperate need of volunteers! There are multiple avenues to get involved in this ministry - volunteer leaders, helping with club or campaigners, financial resources, etc. If you are local and passionate about helping kids come to know true life in Christ, please reach out to Lexi Ruth Sells, (229) 894-6762 or lrsells101@gmail.com.
