VACATION BIBLE SCHOOL CELEBRATION @ 9:00 Worship
During our 9:00 AM worship service this Sunday, our VBS children will share some of their learnings with us. Following worship the children and their families will head to Fellowship Hall where the Saturday Men's Ministry is hosting a pancake breakfast for them.
The children are having a great time! The adults are doing an awesome job. It is so much fun to hear their happy voices as they learn new songs and stories from the Bible. Each day they are memorizing a Bible verse. Today, Tuesday, they learned the tools that Jesus had to keep him strong and make the right decisions when he was tempted in the desert. Some of the tools Jesus had to be a Superhero included prayer, regular worship, learning Bible stories and loving all people. Along with many volunteers, Dana Saxton, Christy West, Monica Bessette and Neil Bubke have been involved in provided Christ centered leadership this week.

ASP mission group returns during 10:30 Worship! Join us in worship at 10:30 on July 24 as we welcome back the ASP mission team and celebrate their service in Appalachia. Twelve teams have been hard at work in Kentucky. The word that has come back is that it is very hot, but spirits are high! Relationships are being made with the families that are being served. The families have gone out of their way to share their gratitude with the teams. Some of the projects that are being worked on include a new roof, new windows, drywall, gutters, grading. Many of our youth (and perhaps some of our adults) are learning new skills everyday! Keep them in your prayers and be sure to be present to welcome them home! During worship, a few of the youth will share some of the experiences they have had and where they experienced God this week. Eric Rose, Director of Student Ministries is with the group of 84. |
