  Great night in the attic, the H2O service was kicking and kicking HARD! Remember Michael’s three guidelines this week as we all work to “tame our tounge” check these guidelines before you open your mouth 1. Is it true? 2. Is it necessary? 3. Is it spoken out of love? Certainly food for thought on this valentine day! If you were unable to come last night WE MISSED YOU, we did however pack the house with over 100 people (103 to be exact) we hope to see you all next week with a friend! Here’s what went on last night for those who might want to know!

Well it is official! Wednesday night youth worship is no longer called Boost. Boost is a nutritional energy drink people drink in their “golden years” of life. The new name for Wednesday nights in the Attic will from henceforth be called, H₂O. Water is a basic need we all have in common; much like our common need for a relationship with Jesus Christ. I’m also a former chemist, so anything chemistry related is cool with me. But seriously, my desire for you is that Wednesday nights here at DeSoto Hills Baptist Church will be a refreshing place for you to come and worship the Lord our God while hearing His Word proclaimed. You don’t have to face this world alone! Please join us in the Attic on Wednesday nights for H₂O and “Quench your thirst!”

See you there!

Michael Bucy
