SUMMER WORSHIP HOURS: CHILDREN'S CHURCH 9:30 A.M. WORSHIP SERVICE 9:30 A.M.

Vacation Bible School will be June 23rd-27th from 9 a.m. to 12 noon. Preschool- 8th grade ( 4 y/o and up unless parent is present). We are looking forward to a really fun year with the theme being Son World Adventure Park where children get to experience a trip to Storybook Land, The Pirate Ship, The Galactic Zone and the Wild West! Together we will learn about making good choices and how God can help us to do that. Along with our great theme, we will have a week full of fun crafts, recreation, bible stories and learning new songs. The children will have a chance to win prizes by learning memory verses and other fun ways. Our Adventure Park will be a thrilling ride with Jesus! Please invite a child to our program.

As VBS depends on the numerous volunteers giving many hours of their time to run the program, I want to give a great big thanks to all our dedicated people. VBS would not exist without your love and commitment for these children. I believe that planting the seed of God's love into these children is one of the most important things we can do and may make a big difference in a child's life somewhere down the road, if not at that moment. Although all of us work really hard to prepare for VBS so we can learn how to make that craft or learn to teach that lesson or learn to teach that song, we never quite get everything perfected. Somehow everything turns out just fine because the most important ingredient is always there. God! He is the one that makes it uplifting. If we show up with love in our hearts, he will do the rest. I do believe the best example for sharing God's love is showing our own love.
As VBS is almost here, I am really excited to have the opportunity to be involved in another year and God has blessed me. I know that for sure when the children that I taught in preschool are looking down on me (because they are taller than me) and they are smiling at me asking if I remember them? We have several kids that I taught in preschool and they have been coming back to VBS every year. I think that is wonderful and hope to see them again this year as well. As I look to God for guidance in leading VBS, I know we will have another awesome year! As for all of you, please take the time to pray for VBS and all who are volunteering. If you did not volunteer and would like to do something, we still need food for our Friday night closing program, pennies rolled, and little odds and ends, please contact Barb at 327-1365. Please make an effort to invite a child to VBS!

Hey Everyone, got your sunglasses, sunscreen and whatever you need to make this summer a fun adventure? I am a firm believer that when one door closes, God opens another one. We had a great year at Sunday School and an awesome celebration for our Sunday School Closing and although that door has closed for a season, it's time to open the door to JR CHURCH, YEAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

We have 13 weeks of adventure for our kids ages 4 to 12. This years theme is Passport to Adventure. The fun and excitement of a theme park is combined with the discovery of how everyday choices can show our love for and obedience to God. The purpose will also help children understand the impact their choices will make on their lives. The 13 weeks will present 13 choices:
Choose to Believe in Jesus
Choose to Be an Example
Choose to Be Kind
Choose to Pray
Choose to Be Loyal
Choose to Live in Peace
Choose to Work Together
Choose to Pray for Others
Choose to Trust God
Choose to Praise God
Choose to Tell Others About Jesus
Choose to Be Generous
Choose to Learn about Jesus

Come join the fun and soak up all the son/sun that's waiting for you at this summer's Passport to Adventure. If you are interested in helping out with this program we are still interested in teachers and helpers. We are also looking for teachers for next year's Sunday School program. Please help us help our children enjoy the freedom of  learning about Jesus. You know who you are because I believe God is already tugging at your heart to make a difference for Him in building up the heart of a child and sharing with them important lessons such as:
if you confess with your mouth, Jesus is Lord, and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved Romans 10:9

Have a great summer and wear your sunblock but don't block out the SON!
Love,
Patti Rollins
