To seek God, and be Christ’s body in the world
Greetings!
A Prayer for Family Fun!

Thank you for family and for the fun that families can share. Thank you for wonderful summertime opportunities to get out and do. May we all enjoy some great adventures when traveling or staying close to home. Let us make fun a priority for ourselves and for those who may be struggling. May their burdens be lifted up to you so they can open their hearts to joy and laughter. In Jesus' name, we pray for summertime wonderment, a break from chaotic days, new experiences, the strength to make cherished memories, and a heart filled with gratitude. Amen!

Check out the remaining days of the
VBS Arts Camp
Noah & Theater Arts

The bible tells us God got very very angry with people a long time ago ( Gen 6:9-22, 9:8-17). This week's Summer Sunday will provide children and youth with the opportunity to reenact the Noah story and create their own ark. There is a bin full of animal puppets for Noah and his family to fetch and safely load onto the ark. There are even snacks for the journey, just as scripture tells us.

You and your children are invited to join the fun as we continue to think about the theme of "water." The Summer Sunday VBS will begin at 9:15am in the large Sunday School room and children will rejoin their families at the peace.

God created us to be creative and this week the creativity will take the form of acting out a well known bible story. It is always a joy to see how the children and youth interpret God's holy word!

No preparation is needed, and newcomers are invited to join us any Wednesday night in the large Sunday School room from 7 to 8 p.m. Books are provided or available for sale.
