Word of the Week

One of the most exciting moments in the life of a pastor is watching different ones within his “fold” come to Christ. Over the past few weeks I, as well as many of our leaders and families, have experienced that very joy by watching the results of several of our church family children and youth accept Christ as their Savior following their spiritual experiences through VBS, youth camp and preteen camp. What a blessing it will be today for all of us to share in that experience as they participate in the ordinance of baptism at both services. May we all commit to share in their new found faith and nurture them as they begin their Christian journey.

Walking side by side with you through the journey,

Sunday Sermon

Sound technicians were away on Mission Trip this week. Watch for the sermon to return next week.

Word of the Week

I am so glad you are here for worship today! I pray that you came with an expectation that God is going to do something amazing in your life! I am thrilled that Dr. Scott Willingham, my friend and mentor, is here today to preach in my absence. I know you will be blessed by his presence.

I challenge you this week to be praying for our mission team serving in Rockaway Beach, Missouri. Pray for safety and ministry opportunities!

I hope you have a great week!

Word of the Week

The next couple of weeks are great weeks in the life of our church. We have over 60 of our folks loading up to head to Latham Springs this week for pre-teen camp. That is the largest group attending the camp! That is awesome . . . Way to go Dorothy!!! But it is also an opportunity for Christ to knock on the door of the hearts of these children.

Saturday our missions team will pull out for Missouri to Rockaway Beach to help with construction and share the Good News of Christ with that community through Backyard Bible Clubs and apartment ministry.

I ask that you be in prayer for both of these groups as they travel and are a part of great things for the Kingdom of God. I look forward to great reports from both groups!

I hope you have a great week!

Word of the Week

What an incredible past two weeks we have had as a church family! We had six children accept Christ last week at Vacation Bible School, and this week we had fourteen students accept Christ as their Savior at youth camp! That means you have sixteen new little brothers and sisters in Christ!!

I always try to remind you that if you tithe to this church you are a part of ministry. Your tithe dollars helped purchase curriculum and other items needed for VBS, and your tithe dollars helped offset the cost of camp for the students who went to camp! What a privilege to get to be a part of God’s work simply by being faithful in giving!!!

Celebrating what God has and is doing!

Word of the Week

What an incredible summer we are in the midst of having! Our students who went to Super Summer had an amazing week! We just had perhaps the largest Vacation Bible School we have ever had! We saw children trust Jesus as their Lord and Savior for the first time! Praise God! In the morning at 11:30 we will see about 45 load a chartered bus to head for youth camp, and I expect great things from this week!

Are you doing your part? Are you daily praying for the ministries that are going on? I sure hope so . . . it is great to see God working among our people! Keep on praying and we will see Him continue to do amazing things! Isn’t it wonderful to get to be a part of His work?

I hope you have a great week!
