“Make your ways known to me, Lord; teach me your paths.’” - Psalm 25:4

Peter taught that everyone who believes in Jesus will have their sins forgiven. Peter said “God has shown me that He does not show favoritism.” This week, we finish our Vacation Bible School series; Twists and Turns! Our reading comes from Acts 10.

See you tomorrow morning!

Look on the pink side of life!

TOMORROW!

Week 2 of VBS was a hit! Our story was - Jesus fed the Disciples (Luke 22:31-34, 54-62; John 18:15-18; 21:1-19). We learned how Jesus is loving and that He loves us.

For crafts, Ms. Morgan & Ms. Beckie helped the kids make roosters from plastic eggs. These went along with the story of how Peter denied Jesus three times before the rooster crowed on the night that Jesus was arrested.

Mr. Jack & Ms. Heidi put together a really fun bowling game. They rolled the dice to see what you used to knock down the pins. The choices were, bean bags, small plastic balls, the giant dice, or a human bowling ball! The kids had a blast playing this!

Ms. Elizabeth & Mr. Anthony did a great job leading worship for us. Pastor Garet led the adults in bible study. They discussed fears and anxiety as parents, and practiced prayer. The scripture they focused on was Philippians 4:6-7.

Happy Anniversary to Ms. Leslie (5 years) & Ms. Andrialynn (2 years). We are so grateful for all you bring to our community!

We have 2 more evenings left for Vacation Bible School - tonight, 6/21 and next Wednesday, 6/28 - then we party! Join us as we celebrate another great summer of VBS fun!

Happy Father's Day to the full-time working dads, the stay at home dads, the dads who live far from us, and the dads who are in heaven awaiting our reunion. To the men longing to become fathers & the men who don’t…to the dads who have lost, the dads at heart, the grandpas, the foster dads and step dads. All dads are hard working! Your hard work does not go unnoticed. We honor you all today.

What a way to KICK OFF SUMMER 2023!! Thank you to everyone who came out to have fun, and the volunteers who made it all possible. Let the summer fun continue!
