Greetings!
Day 2 of VBS is complete and we are having a GREAT time.
Thanks to Pastor Melisa and the many volunteers-youth and adults-who are making
this VBS such a success. So far,
we've had nearly 80 children registered and it is such a joy to see them
dancing and singing about Jesus. One child said yesterday, "VBS is cool!"
The theme this year is God's word and each day the children
are learning something important about God's word. On Day 1, they learned that
God's word is true. Last night, they learned that God's word is comforting.
Tonight, they will explore how God's word is surprising. On Day 4, they will
learn that God's word is life changing. And on Friday, they will learn that
God's word is for everyone!
On Sunday, we will all gather at 10:15 for one church-wide
VBS celebration and our message will be on the Transforming Power of God's Word
and our scripture will come from Psalm 119:105-112:
Your word is a lamp to my feet and a light to my path.
I have sworn an oath and confirmed it,
to observe your righteous
ordinances.
I am severely afflicted;
give me life, O Lord,
according to your word.
Accept my offerings of praise, O Lord,
and
teach me your ordinances.
I hold my life in my hand continually,
but I do not forget your
law.
The wicked have laid a snare for me,
but I do not stray from your
precepts.
Your decrees are my heritage forever;
they are the joy of my
heart.
I incline my heart to perform your statutes forever, to the end.
- Psalm 119 is a hymn of praise to power of God's word. Obviously, the word of God was very
important to the psalmist. How
would you describe what God's word means to you to others, especially to those
who are new to the Bible or those who reject it?
- How much time do you spend with God's word each day? Each
week? Are you familiar enough with
it for it to provide guidance in living your daily life? If not, what keeps you
from spending time with the Bible or from finding guidance in it?
- The psalmist considers obedience to God's word to be a grateful
response to the gift of God's word.
Do you find obedience to be a requirement or a joyful response to God?
Just a few
thoughts as we prepare for worship this Sunday. Be sure and invite your friends without a church home to
join us this Sunday as our children lead us in worship and we are reminded of
the transforming power of God's word! |

NEW LIFE SHEPHERD MINISTRY
We need each of you to be praying to find out if God is leading you into this ministry.
The Shepherd Ministry will be making phone calls, visiting, and sending cards to members of our church family.
Each member will receive a list of approximately 8 to 10 families for which you will be responsible for keeping in touch with calls, visits, and/or sending cards.
If God leads, please join us for blessings you won't believe.
