Greetings
Family
Church
:
This has been an incredible Summer so far…and still, there’s more to come!!! Within the past month our kids ended a great week at Bible Camp. They had a great time making new friends, participating in crazy games and some of them experienced God in ways they’ve never experienced before; All in all it was a GREAT week!!! At the end of next week we can officially say that we’re in the middle of August. WOW!!! I encourage you to finish this summer strong by continuing to give faithfully to tithes and missions and by staying involved. Your church needs you. 1 Corinthians 12 says, “…The body is a unit, though it is made up of many parts; and though all its parts are many, they form one body…Now you are the body of Christ, and each one of you is a part of it…” Whatever your gifts are…share them with others and above all, use them to glorify God.
Make sure you do not miss the next few weeks as we continue in our message series entitled: How to be at Peace Under Pressure. Be sure to mark your calendars for VBS and the Aquasox game; you are not going to want to miss out. We hope you all have a great week and look forward to seeing you on Sunday. Remember, the best thing you can do for your church is bring someone with you.
