Preparing for VBS

"Shipwrecked" Vacation Bible School is less than a month away! To better prepare us to share the gospel message with our kids, our worship services this month will focus on some of the same Scripture stories we will be telling at VBS. We will hear stories about people who lose important things, the rivalry between two sisters, and two simple men who changed a life forever. While we will be looking at these stories from a different perspective than we will at VBS, exploring these stories will help us all be more prepared to share them. Even if you will not be working directly with the kids, I hope that these weeks will be a blessing to help connect you with God and with the great work God has given us to do as a congregation.

Preparations are going well for VBS, but we still have a few openings for leadership. We are in need of a 3rd grade group leader, assistants for PreK, Kindergarten, third, and middle school groups, and extra helpers on Monday, 5:00-6:30 pm. If you have one night or more that you can bless the children of our community, please see Dinah as soon as possible.

Praise in the Park this Sunday!

This Sunday, we “Praise in the Park!” Our service will begin at 10 am in Bradburn Park. Bring a comfortable lawn chair or a picnic blanket, and enjoy worshiping God and rejoicing with our graduates down by the river! We will have only a few folding chairs set up. Also please reserve parking at the park for our older members by parking at the church and walking to the park if you are able. Following worship, we will enjoy a potluck picnic so plan to stay and enjoy the feast! Invite a friend to join you for this great day! In the case of bad weather, we will move the service and potluck indoors at the church. We plan to make a decision by Saturday evening.
