"VBS" 
 
Evenings at Grace Community Church this week are filled with the sounds of children laughing, shouting, singing--wonderful sounds! 

It seems that "Vacation Bible School" is an idea as old as the hills. 
But it is still a great idea and ministry. 

I was reminded of that just yesterday when I met a good friend and Christian man for a breakfast visit. 

During the course of the conversation and speaking about spiritual matters, I asked him when he first came to know Jesus Christ as his Savior. 

His immediate response? 
"Vacation Bible School" 

Yes, VBS is still 
a great idea!  

Pray that this week will be a life-changer for at least one of the young ones that we are ministering to.
Kingdom Rock!
We are having so much fun at Kingdom Rock! So far we have had 14 kids stop by and fellowship! That's already more than last year! There's still space for kids between K-6 to register for our Kingdom Rock VBS at our VBS website. Click here to register!  The closing will be this Sunday Morning at 10:45.  Come out and enjoy what God is doing in the lives of these young ones. 
Shaping the Future of Children's Ministry
We're having a wonderful week with children through VBS! Another important step in redeveloping children's ministry at GCCN.  And THANK YOU to all our workers who have given so generously of time and talent! 
 
Next steps include developing children's ministry for the 2013-14 school year.  If you would be willing to participate as a member of the leadership team as we prepare for Autumn, please let Pastor Wes here. The Lord is going to accomplish wonderful things in this vital area as we minister to the spiritual and developmental needs of kids!
Kids and Teen News 
VBS continues today! See the article up above to join in!

Our Quizzing season is going to start this August. If you would like to take part, contact Pastor Matt by email here! The teens will be studying Romans and James! 

Would you still like to go to summer camp? The late registration fee is coming up. Contact Pastor Matt for more information!

Would your kids grade K-6 like to take part in Bible quizzing? Email Pastor Matt as well. We would love to restart our Children's Bible Quizzing ministry. This year, the Children's Quizzing book is Genesis. Let's see those kids study and shine! 

There is no youth group this week. Our youth group is on a summer break. We will resume August 21st with a trip to Six Flags!
Zapped! Children's Camp 2013
Are you ready??? The teens aren't the only ones who have a Summer Camp! Finished 1-3 and 4-6 graders have their very own Summer Camps this summer! Contact Pastor Matt for more information!
Praise God....   
Praise God for the generous response of the members and friends of GCCN in relation to the financial shortfall at the half-way point of 2013!  From a beginning shortfall of $8.500, at this point, we are about $4000 short of the full amount needed to be caught up.  When each of us are where we are to be in relation to God's will on this, then the finances of His Church is where they need to be. 
Honoring God always brings blessing!
