Loving God, Serving Others

‘What-A-Week’ Greetings!
Yep, VBS was crazy… and crazy good. Between 80 and 100 kids attended. There were games, crafts, Bible lessons, contests, snacks, prizes (thanks so much to you who donated. Kids were thrilled to get a prize) and more. There was the “Minute to Win it’ competition between Jesse and Rick, aka Jiffy Cake Jesse and Ricochet Rick. There was a competition between the boys and girls to see who could donate the most to North County Food Pantry… and over a THOUSAND items were donated! (I think the boys won, but I’m a boy so I’m not sure you can fully trust me). There was a bit of hooliganism that occurred over the fierce competition… ask Jesse, Katy and the Morris girls. There was a great video story that fit with the Wild West theme. What a great event. Thank you SO much to all who volunteered. Your hard work and time for children is completely worth it. Kids had fun and heard about Jesus.
What’s Goin’ On…
*Tomorrow, Saturday, at 11am there will be a Celebration of Life for Tim Froehlich here at the church.
*Next Friday, August 1 there will be a hymn sing at the church at 6:30. Snacks will be provided by the Lowry home group.
*Next Saturday there will be a Discovery Class here at the church at 10am, done no later than noon. Coffee will be on.
*Friday August 15 the monthly area prayer time from 9am to 9pm will be at… CCC! If you’ve wondered what these are like, now’s the time to come on down and see! Travel is a whole lot easier for this one. I’ve had a number of comments from pastors who thought we have a sweet set-up here, being close to the river. “Peaceful” was just one of the thoughts. Plus, there will be a burger meal from 6 to 7. I’ll lead in prayer during the last stretch, from 7 to 9pm. If you can help set up and serve the meal at all, lemme know.
This Sunday…
Worship is led by Karolyn, prayer by Jason and I’ll have the second installment in the Revelation series of messages. This week, I’ll focus on three of the letters to the churches. I’ve found some cool pictures of the ruins of those cities. They were pretty advanced.
See you Sunday?
