Week of July 24, 2011

Hello Friends,
I am so excited for church this week! We are joining together for one service at 10 am. As we gather together for worship, we are
going to see the scripture brought to life in an amazing way. The story will come to us through the singing and acting of the Children and Youth who participated in
Music Camp this summer. We are going to have the rare opportunity to see the story of Jonah come to life. Jonah's story is one we can all relate to and learn from. Jonah's story is of a man unsure whether he wants to, or is capable, of carrying out God's will for his life. So come and see the story unfold, you just may see yourself in one of the characters!
~ Pastor Sarah
