After a beach vacation, I think I've recovered from VBS (although, my office has not). Again, I want to give thanks to the 80+ people who helped with VBS this year. In the evenings, we ministered to about 115 kids and their families. The songs and lessons rang true, and I've received several messages from parents excited that their children are still singing the songs and talking about the lessons. You helped make a big impact on a lot of young hearts, including my own kiddo who kept talking about VBS even at the beach. May we all never forget that "Jesus Rescues!" "In the eye of the storm, you remain in control. In the middle of the war, you guide my soul. You alone are the anchor, when my sails are torn. Your love surrounds me in the eye of the storm." Thank you for making this ministry possible!
Here are some upcoming events for your calendar:
- During the month of August, we will be collecting school supplies.
- August 15th Back to School Bash
- August 19 & 26 Acolyte Training/Refresher *New 3rd - 5th graders, contact me for info.
- September 2nd Sunday School Move Up
- September 5th Wednesday Classes begin
- September 9th Bibles to 3rd Graders

Deadline: TOMORROW, Tuesday, July 24
Children's Outreach Ministries (COM) is raising money, and our congregation can help! "We are required to have special engineered wood fiber mulch on our playground, and it is rather expensive. Money that we raise will go toward paying for the 100 cubic yards of mulch we added to both playgrounds in June and any new equipment we need for the kids to enjoy outside."
The options for sale are one dozen fresh Krispy Kreme doughnuts (Original Glazed) for $10 per box, 12 oz. bags of Krispy Kreme Signature Coffee (rich, smooth, or decaf) for $10 each, or certificates to redeem at Krispy Kreme for one dozen Original Glazed doughnuts for $10 each. Products are to be picked up at the COM office the morning of Friday, July 27.
Paid order forms are due to the COM office by Tuesday, July 24. Feel free to distribute the forms in your workplace or neighborhood! Click here for the fresh doughnuts and coffee form. Click here for the certificates order form. Certificates make a great gift! Thank you for supporting COM.

Celebrate 25 Years of Operation Christmas Child!
Date: Saturday, July 28, 2018
Time:
10:00 a.m.-12:00 p.m.
Place:
Mount Vernon Baptist Church, 2150 Mount Vernon Road, Hurricane
Join us for a light breakfast, helpful workshops, and Nadia's personal testimony of how a shoebox changed her life. To RSVP call Rebecca @ 774-641-2784.
Nadia Karnatova grew up in Ukraine in a large family. Although God always provided for them, they had very little. One Christmas when she was around 9 years old, Nadia and all of her siblings received a shoebox from a local church. It was the first moment she felt God's true presence. When Nadia opened her shoebox, she saw a brand new Barbie doll with pink shoes. She had seen a Barbie on TV before but never thought she would have one. Through generosity of strangers, God gave Nadia's family hope, strengthening their faith in Him. In 2000, Nadia's family moved to the United States. Today, Nadia lives in Ohio and loves to pack shoeboxes with her three children. To hear more about God's faithfulness in Nadia's life and the special item she received in her shoebox, please join us.
