The youth are doing well at M-Fuge this week. Please continue to pray for them. They will return to Kentwood Saturday.

Mr. Sambo Cutrer, Sr. of Line Creek passed away. I’ll post arrangements when they are available.

I’m so excited about the Missions Project Day tomorrow. I’m almost ready. Thanks to some of my Children on Mission. They have really learned the “do” part of our pledge. I’ve been thankful for their help and company this week. We have some great projects to work on. Bring your scissors. If you haven’t been come, and join the fun and fellowship. Get to know someone else a little better in the process. You can be a part of “do” too!

Friday Morning Bible Study – Romans 11

VBS begins Sunday night with a kick-off and follows with classes Monday – Friday from 8:30-11:30. Our theme is “Shipwrecked”. Contact the church office to pre-register and to purchase a t-shirt.

Children in Action – In missions, children are taught there are four aspects of missions, learn, pray, give, and do. Last night our class (of all girls last night) untangled hundreds of necklaces, sorted, and packaged beads that have been donated for Operation Christmas Child. We left our regular schedule to “do” missions! Most of these beads will be used as fillers for shoeboxes when they arrive in Dallas. We will be working on lots of doing in the next weeks and months. I hope you have June 16th marked on your calendar. We will meet in the fellowship hall from 9-12 that morning to work on the “do” aspect of missions some more. EVERYONE is invited to participate!

When we have the next WMU meeting in July, we will focus on doing. We will have tables set up with various churches showing some of the items their members are creating to share in various mission projects. For adults, there are the same four aspects of missions, learn, pray, give, and do. We hope to learn from each others, so we can do more and thus share more. I challenge each church in the association to show us what you are doing and teach someone else how they may can do the same. Let’s share our ideas. Let’s bring the children demonstrate and to learn.

We came back extremely tired, but we are already making plans for next year.
