Sunday, January 22, 2:30 pm:

Our Minnesota students are absolutely thrilled for January 22nd! AAA Twin Cities and Maplewood have rented out Target Center arena to hold a girls and boys basketball game on the main court.

Tickets are just $15 per person. With each ticket for the AAA-TC vs. MWA game you will receive a voucher for one 2011-12 Minnesota Timberwolves or 2012 Lynx home games.

Come and support the two schools as they take center court at 2:30 pm this Sunday!! This exciting opportunity for the four basketball teams would not be possible without your on-going support.

Tickets will be available in the church hallway this Sabbath (with a signup to pay later).
