The Heat is On!

Hello! I hope everyone has enjoyed their weekend. It sure has been pretty warm this week (to say the least)! Today marks the beginning of VBS in our church. There are classes available for all ages.

The theme for this year is "Outrigger Island: Living God's Unshakable Truth" (scripture Psalm 86:11). If you or someone you know would like to come to VBS this year, invite him or her to join you. Light refreshments will be served at 6pm in the fellowship. Classes will begin immediately following the refreshment time. There will even be games and crafts! When I was growing up, I enjoyed VBS. We had lots of fun and learned a lot. I am sure you will too! (VBS will be held Monday-Wednesday from 6-8:30pm).

Sunday, June 15th is Father's Day. We will have Donuts for Dads Sunday morning beginning at 9am in the fellowship hall. Remember to let dad know how much he means to you!

Women on Mission will meet on Wednesday, June 18th. All the ladies of the church are invited and encouraged to attend.

The youth will be heading to camp White Oak. They will be gone the week of June 23rd. Keep them in your prayers and may they come back enriched and rejuvenated to do the Lord's work!

There will be a Women's Conference in Atlanta, Georgia at Phillips Arena on Friday, June 27th. For more details, please contact the church office.

Sunday, June 29th has a couple of special events planned that evening. The youth will share a report of their experience at camp and there will be an ice cream social following the evening service. Come out and join in the fun, food and fellowship!

The children also have several fun events taking place. They will be heading off to Santee for Santee Mission Week (the week of July 7th-12th). If you have a child or children who wishes to participate, please see our Minister of Students for more details.

There will be a day camp for the children July 21st-25th. Please see our MOS for more details on this upcoming event.

I hope everyone will have a blessed week. Try and stay out of the heat (if you can)! And if you have pets, please make sure they have plenty of cool water and shade. Doing so will ward off possible heat strokes (and yes, pets can have heat strokes just like people). They rely on us to properly care for them and God has entrusted them to us. Leaving them in a hot car is not a good idea either. I recommend leaving them at home if you are out running errands and will be away from home for a good while or drop them off for "day care" while you go shopping, etc.

Until next time, take care and God bless!

In Christian Love,

Tina :-)
