In Bible, we will dig into the book of Proverbs. As we consider the principles outlined in this book together, students will find themselves better prepared to face the responsibilities and decisions that accompany young adulthood. Our prayer for our students is that as they study the wisdom of God in Proverbs and apply it to their daily lives, they will develop a deeper love for the Lord and desire to follow Him for the rest of their lives.
