We will have Escalate again on July 7th. Escalate is designed to help incoming seventh graders transition into the Youth Ministry. We meet during lunch and hang out as we discuss being a part of our ministry. Escalate concludes with a free trip to Hurricane Harbor for those who attend Escalate throughout the summer. Mark your calendars from 12:00 PM to 2:00 PM on July 7th, July 28th, Aug 4th and all day on August 5th.

Please pray for all us who are going on the World Changers trip to Los Angeles.

STRIVING FOR THE FINISH LINE
Grace!

2Cor.8:9 “For you know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that though He was rich, yet for your sake He became poor, so that you through His poverty might become rich.”

1. Jesus, the author of grace. “Though He was rich” Before He ever came to earth, Jesus existed as God (Jn.1:1; Col.2:9;) In Jesus all the fullness of deity dwells in bodily form, meaning all of God is at home in Christ.

2. Jesus, the art of Grace. “Yet for your sake he became poor.” The very fact that Jesus humbled Himself and became the suffering servant speaks volumes to me (Philp.2:5) We all should be eternally grateful for His act of humility.

3. Jesus, the acceptance of Grace. “So that you through His poverty might become rich.” Jesus became the atoning sacrifice required by God to provide salvation to mankind (1Ptr.2:24)

Keep pressing on, Guy
Choir / Special Music
Super Summer Sing-In and VBS are now behind us. I had a great two weeks working with the kids, both for the musical presentation and during the music time of VBS. The kids were full of energy and learned their music well. Thanks, parents, for letting your children be a part of these last two weeks.

I hope you will join us at the city park (pool) this Sunday evening at 5:00ish. We will be eating closer to 6:00pm. Hamburgers and hotdogs are on the menu. Come to enjoy the fellowship short time of worship with your church family. As the pastor said, bring your card table and dominos if you want and get others to join in a game of “42”.

It’s hard to believe that July is already upon us. I hope you will take a few moments to reflect on the freedoms God has given us in this great country of ours, and give thanks to the Lord for those freedoms. As the summer continues, I encourage you to be in worship each and every week. If you are traveling, I encourage you to attend worship in the city you are in. Remember that God doesn’t take vacations from us, so let’s not forsake our worship just because it’s vacation time.

I look forward to our worship together this Sunday.

Singing as I go, Larry

      Sunday was a great day in worship.  I know that it is because we are praying  I want to challenge you to come and to pray.  Gideon's Ring meets at 5:45 a.m. each Wednesday in the youth room, the upper room to pray for revival and for God to move in our services.  We are going to begin to offer a second opportunity to come and to pray at noon for those who can't make it to the early times.  We will start some time in June to open the sanctuary and just gather to pray.  VBS is coming, find a way to help out and to help us share the gospel with kids in our community.  Also, Charles and Susan Roitsch have begun a bus ministry.  If you would like to help out, contact Bro. Guy and we will get you plugged in.  I am glad to be serving here with you.
