Pray for our high school students on mission in Johnson City, TN this week. This is the Student Ministry's 7th year serving in Johnson City. The students are
partnering with local churches and Christian organizations to put on sports camps, backyard Bible clubs, and other activities to engage the children and families in the area.
"My kids think going on Road Trip with the youth group is one of the best things ever. It's fun to see these high schoolers serving in the name of Jesus."
- Courtney Neil via Facebook
Rachel Bush, RN, MDiv, LPC, will be this year's guest speaker at Summer Oasis.
NEXT WEEK: SUMMER OASIS FOR WOMEN
Women are uniquely gifted in the area of beauty, but we are often trapped by it as well. Guest speaker Rachel Bush will help us better connect with true beauty in ourselves, in our lives and in our Savior...and sidestep the landmines of insecurity, superficiality and fear. When we can trust the beauty that our Creator has wrought in us, we are better equipped to see beauty in all of life--even the pain and trials we experience.
The Women's Ministry invites all women to Summer Oasis on
Wednesday, July 13 at 6:35pm in the Gathering Place.
- This is a free event!
- Childcare available by reservation
- Volunteer to bring a dessert
TWO WAYS TO HELP YOUR TEEN GROW UP
by Chad Moore, High School & Men's Minister
So much happens between the ages of 12 and 15 that many parents of teenagers feel like they're drowning for four years (and even longer, depending on how many kids they have).
Do you feel a constant tension between holding on to your "baby" and training up a young adult?
YOUR VISIT COULD MAKE ALL THE DIFFERENCE
Do you remember your first visit to Shandon? Was it exciting? Overwhelming? One person extending an invitation to another, one conversation, one relationship can make all the difference. Join us this Sunday for the Reaching Challenge, a monthly afternoon outreach where we make personal visits to recent guests to deliver a "Thank you" gift.
55+ MINISTRY: LEGACY BUILDERS

- Bible Study (taught by Dennis Banks): 10am
- Program (featuring Mike Sturkie): 11am

We are so excited to introduce the new Shandon Baptist Church app!
We think you'll find it immensely helpful for staying connected to your church family on Sundays and in between.
