Heating up for Summer!

Looks like things will be very busy around our church in June. Something for everyone. If you know of someone who might be looking for a church home, encourage him or her to join you one Sunday or Wednesday. Everyone needs a church home whether they think so or not!

Now for the activities for the month:

Tomorrow evening (June 1st) will bring the Good News Club Report. This organization was formed in order to hear the Gospel and learn truth from the word of God. I am sure those who participate/participated were blessed!

Birthday celebrations for the month of June will take place this Wednesday, June 4th. Anyone having a birthday this month is invited to attend. Supper is served at 6pm in the fellowship followed by our organizational meetings. Come join in on the fun and fellowship.

The week of June 8th-12th marks Vacation Bible School. This year's theme is "Outrigger Island: Living God's Unshakeable Truth" taken from Psalm 86:11. There are classes available for everyone and helpers are still needed for crafts and recreation! VBS begins at 6pm each night and ends at 8:30pm.

Sunday, June 15th is Father's Day. Take time this special day to let dad know how much he means to you. But remember to thank him even when it isn't Father's Day! "Donuts for Dads" will be held in the fellowship hall at 8am.

Women on Mission will be meeting on Wednesday, June 18th. All the ladies of our church are invited and encourage to attend. Bring a friend!

The youth will be heading to White Oak for SummerSalt the week of June 23rd. Please be in prayer for our young people and make God work in a positive way through them.

A Women's Conference will be held in Atlanta, Ga. at Phillips Arena on Friday. June 27th. Contact the church office for more details.

There will be a youth report on their trip to White Oak and an ice cream social on Sunday, June 29th during the evening service. Come out and let's support our youth!

Not only are our young people busy with the above mentioned activities, our Minister of Students has lots more in store for them this summer. It won't be a boring one by any means!

Youth: there will be an open gym Friday, June 6th from 6pm-9pm.

Children and other church members: there will be a beach party on Saturday, June 7th from 4:30pm-6:30pm. This activity will kick-off for VBS. All church members are invited to attend. There will be games and "island food" for all ages.

Our Minister of Students has also provided us with a website that can aid parents in discussing things that take place in the movie. This website allows you to select a couple of scenes from a movie and then discuss them in relation to what God's word says about certain behaviors. Who knows, maybe we all can take a look at the website and then reflect back on things we saw in a movie as well. The link for the website is: www.hollywoodjesus.com.

I believe that's all I have for now. Until next time, take care and God bless!

In Christian Love,

Tina :-)
