Happy Spring!

Hello Families of Living Water!

Happy Spring! Though we haven't had much of a winter, I still get excited every year for the coming of spring. It signifies growth, new beginnings, and sunshine! I am especially excited for my new beginning working alongside Jessica to serve the youth of Living Water. I have a heart for the ministry and have been blessed to get to know quite a few kids on a deeper level through small groups this past year, and I look forward to strengthening those relationships and forming new ones.

I am most looking forward to our trip to Mexico in June. I lived in Mexico for three months in college and currently teach Spanish at the high school level, so I am excited to be serving with the families of Living Water and Oak Tree churches while doing something that I am so passionate about. Consider joining us for this life-changing experience! Feel free to contact me if you have any questions about Mexico (or anything else, really! I will do my best to help!). You can reach me at (916) 217-9181 or alicia@lwceg.com.

Peter writes a letter to "God's elect", those who are serving Christ throughout the world, and says in 1 Peter 4:10, "Each of you should use whatever gift you have received to serve others, as faithful stewards of God's grace in its various forms." I pray that in this spring, a new season of growth, you will use the gifts God has given you for his service, that you may grow in love.

Blessings,

Alicia Ashley
