Sunday

Sing to God, sing in praise of his name, extol him who rides on the clouds; rejoice before him—his name is the LORD.

A father to the fatherless, a defender of widows, is God in his holy dwelling.

~Psalm 68:4-5 (NIV)~

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.
