Youth Group

The road is still ahead, but we're not sure where it's leading at this time.
No Middle school or High School youth group for the month of August.

Please pray that God will raise up a leader in this area.

Thought for today.

The LORD is my shepherd, I shall not be in want. He makes me lie down in green pastures, he leads me beside quiet waters,

Psalm 23:1-2 NIV

Thought for today.

We have different gifts, according to the grace given us. If a man's gift is prophesying, let him use it in proportion to his faith. If it is serving, let him serve; if it is teaching, let him teach; if it is encouraging, let him encourage; if it is contributing to the needs of others, let him give generously; if it is leadership, let him govern diligently; if it is showing mercy, let him do it cheerfully.

Romans 12:6-8 NIV

Thought for today.

Now faith is being sure of what we hope for and certain of what we do not see.

Hebrews 11:1 NIV

Thought for today.

See that you do not look down on one of these little ones. For I tell you that their angels in heaven always see the face of my Father in heaven.

Matthew 18:10 NIV

Thought for today.

An anxious heart weighs a man down, but a kind word cheers him up.

By His wounds.

But he was pierced for our transgressions, he was crushed for our iniquities;
the punishment that brought us peace was upon him, and by his wounds we are healed.
Isiah 53:5

Blast

The blessing of warm weather has been appreciated the last few BLAST Wednesdays. This day of good weather yielded an obstacle course during Team Building session. Even some of the volunteers got a taste of the lesson... cheer on your team, even if they are not as fast as you!

If you haven't joined in the fun yet and would like to, please pop in on a Wednesday afternoon!

Thought for today.

You are all sons of God through faith in Christ Jesus, for all of you who were baptized into Christ have clothed yourselves with Christ.
— Galatians 3:26-27 (NIV)

Missions Sunday

March 8 was the second Sunday of the month and that means a "Missions Moment" as part of the regular service. Barb Sandell was here from Thailand where she has served with her husband since 1983.


Service ended with some kiddos helping out with a praise to the Lord... with song and tambourines.



A potluck lunch followed, to honor Barb and their work in His name. $1027 was raised for her plane ticket back to Mae Sot, Thailand. So we came, ate and gave all for Jesus!

BLAST is a blast!

“Oh I’m so happy to be at BLAST today!” sings and dances the children.


Learning Bible lessons, making cards, and reciting verses…all such fun id concluded with some balloon volleyball in the sanctuary.


As a special treat one of the volunteers brought take-home snacks for the children that included a yummy apple to be enjoyed…as pictured here.
