Apps

YouVersion - It's on my phone. There's a daily verse, loads of reading plans, & of course the entire Bible in a variety of translations. Bonus, you can also create Bible verse images!

d365 - A devotion every day, 365 days a year. Broken into 5 easy parts.

Echo - Forget to pray? There's an app for that too. Echo is clean & simple. From their website, "Echo's number one goal is to help people pray. Whether it be to simply keep track of prayer requests, give space to engage with God, or simply help remind people to pray... Echo is a tool to help Christ-followers engage with God."

Insight Timer - Meditation, or mindfulness, is a practice popular around the world. The benefits are far beyond spiritual. Clear your mind, relieve stress, you name it. Personally, I just like to sit in God's presence & be still.

 Hello all Axis families! Fall Calendar FORMAT for In-Person  Large Groups will be in the CLC. Again for 6th graders, at least one parent/caring adult must attend with them.  We will be masked and spaced apart. Small groups (7th & 8th grade) will meet at outdoor spaces around the building. Masks are not required outdoors but some space is still encouraged. If families volunteer & others approve, meeting at homes is allowed as well.  We ask that if you are planning to participate in Axis we ask that you contribute $25/child to help cover costs of content/supplies/materials.
