To Write Love On Her Arms

Recently Lance saw a young man with a tee-shirt bearing the inscription "To Write Love On Her Arms." It was so unusual that he looked it up on the internet, and found the story of a remarkable group of young people who became friends with a 19 year old woman who was depressed and addicted to cocaine, and how they used rock and roll and lots of love and compassion to help her.

This is a video of the young woman herself: Renee has a powerful story to tell, and so does To Write Love On Her Arms (definitely take time to read Jamie's version of this story on the site). This is a picture of the church rising, and God's hope being made real.

Our Advent Conspiracy: A Well for Liberia

Come be a part of this incredible Christmas gift! We're a part of the Advent Conspiracy, working with Living Water Carolinas to build a well in Liberia. Our team will go to Africa in February 2008, so we are working to get the money raised now. A small-capacity well costs about three thousand dollars to build. Our team also trains the people in the village to maintain and repair the pump system so that everything remains functional.

Checks can be made out to Connections Church, marked "For Liberia" and mailed to PO Box 4401, Cary, NC 27519-4401. Or get directions and join us here on Christmas Eve at 7 pm and bring your offering as we share in worship together.
