With so much on our plates now a days, it's hard to stay focused. I read in my daily devotional this week about a basketball player who was known for making game-winning shots who was asked during an interview how he did it. The reply, "You only have to make one shot." One shot. That's a simplified way of thinking about tough situations. Focus on what is in front of you, one task at a time. As life challenges us, we begin to get overwhelmed and sometimes find ourselves complicating the hard task and even overcomplicating the easy task. If we focus and make it simple, like looking at others through the eyes of Jesus, serving those who are right in front of you, and/or simply smiling at those who are trying to bring you down. Simplifying life and focusing on things one at a time can help us live a more stress free life while still serving Christ.
Matthew 6:34
"Therefore, stop worrying about tomorrow, because tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own."
Jeremy Daniels
Associate Pastor

VBS: To Mars & Beyond!
Vacation Bible School is coming sooner than you think. From June 23-28, we will blast off "To Mars and Beyond!" as VBS takes us into outer space. Every year we have an evening session (23-27, 6-8 p.m.) for the church and community and a morning session (24-28, 9-11 a.m.) for our COM Summer Safari. We need lots of helping hands for both sessions, so please click here for the volunteer form or talk to Jayné Kirk! There are jobs for everyone, but the best part of VBS is being blessed to be a blessing to all the children who attend. I hope you join us!
