The Aaron Project
"Aaron and his sons are to keep the lamps burning before the Lord from evening til morning." Exodus 27:21a
The Aaron Project is a ministry with the goal to reach out and keep contact with recent Miller High School Graduates from our congregation who are currently attending college.
According to scripture, Aaron was in charge of keeping the tabernacle lamps burning. With the Aaron Project, we would like to do the same, letting our young people know we continue to think about them, care how they are doing, and are praying for them. We also want to keep the Lord's light burning in their lives.
