This week we join the Isrealites in the desert where they focus on what they used to have in Egypt instead of on God.  They longed to be back in Egypt where they had food and shelter, but seemed to have forgotten that they were slaves!  They were so busy complaining about what they used to have they were missing out on what God was doing in their lives!  Our bottom line this week: When you focus on what you used to have, you can miss what you have now. Our memory verse is: Philippians 4:12b  "I have learned the secret of being content in any and every situation, whether well fed or hungry, whether living in plenty or in want."  Help kids to know that even if they think things were better for them in the past, God is guiding their steps as they follow Him in to the future.  Be content knowing that God is always faithful!
 
Please consider volunteering in Children's Ministry this summer!  We have many opportunities on Sunday mornings or during VBS or WinShape Camp. Morning registration is full for VBS but your kids can come if you volunteer for VBS!  Contact me at [email protected] or 770-271-8855 ext. 304 for more info or to volunteer!
 
We have an immediate need for more volunteers in our special needs classes at 9:30am and 11:00am. We have lost 2 of our volunteers and we will need to replace them along with adding a few in order to continue offering a safe and loving environment for our special needs kiddos.  Please consider helping out in this area!
 
Don't forget your Bible when you come to church and be sure to bring it to large group with you to practice looking up the story for the day.
