Your donations were a great help.
SOMETHING WE CAN DO
At a time when the forces of evil which destroy the dignity of people are everywhere apparent, something we can do is reflect and pray. It is important for us to recapture that sense of faith in the trustworthiness of God, especially when things appear dark or pointless. Then foundations are rebuilt, and we can get on with the building of the rest of our lives. Then we will be a channel for the Grace from above.

Our sports-themed series will teach how to be a Game Changer for the Kingdom of God. Just as there are pivotal moments or plays in every ball game that can swing the outcome, there are Game Changing moments in our lives that can result in great victories for God. Kids will learn that the Bible is full of game changing moments and that there will be many opportunities in their own life to make a play or to do something that will have a huge, positive impact on their life and the life of others. But it will take courage and confidence in God to make the big play.

VACATION BIBLE SCHOOL REPORT We just completed a week of Vacation Bible School and it was a huge success. The excitement was high as the boys and girls competed in the offering and in bringing canned food for the Food Pantry. The excitement continued as the Praise Leaders led everyone in worship each night. Come to life Bible Stories were taught in each class to help the children learn about Jesus. Games and crafts were also a part of each nights experience. We want to thank our VBS Directors, Steve & Hazel Ray for a job well-done. Thanks to everyone that helped in anyway. Without you there could not be a VBS. A BIG THANK YOU to Jimmy & Geraldine Creech and their kitchen crew for the great eats & drinks each night. And most of all we want to thank God for touching lives this week.

Pastor Jonathons Word of the Week
Ive found the things of God are often very hard to do at the beginning, but they are very easy and peaceful in the end. While the wrong choices are so easy to make at the beginning, they end up so complicated and full of difficulties and regrets later. ~Lee Ezell Jonathon
