Ephesians 1: 3 - 14
3 Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us in Christ with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places, 4 just as he chose us in Christ before the foundation of the world to be holy and blameless before him in love. 5 He destined us for adoption as his children through Jesus Christ, according to the good pleasure of his will, 6 to the praise of his glorious grace that he freely bestowed on us in the Beloved. 7 In him we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of our trespasses, according to the riches of his grace 8 that he lavished on us. With all wisdom and insight 9 he has made known to us the mystery of his will, according to his good pleasure that he set forth in Christ, 10 as a plan for the fullness of time, to gather up all things in him, things in heaven and things on earth. 11 In Christ we have also obtained an inheritance, having been destined according to the purpose of him who accomplishes all things according to his counsel and will, 12 so that we, who were the first to set our hope on Christ, might live for the praise of his glory. 13 In him you also, when you had heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation, and had believed in him, were marked with the seal of the promised Holy Spirit; 14 this is the pledge of our inheritance toward redemption as God’s own people, to the praise of his glory.

Career Talks with ACE
“As a kid growing up many years ago, I had little notion of the careers I might pursue. I grew up on a farm...and had little knowledge of other careers until later in life.” We want to educate students about what people do in their jobs. So, as part of the ACE summer program, we ask people to take ~30 minutes, come by the church, and talk with students about what you do professionally. More

The nursery is open and available for children 2 and under. This includes children of older ages with physical limitations that inhibit proper mask wearing. All of the staff and volunteers working in the nursery have been fully vaccinated. This is just one more way we are trying to care for the most vulnerable among us.

Vacation Bible School - Postponed!
After much conversation and thought, we have made the tough decision to postpone our Summer 2021 VBS program until next year. With VBS planning you are forced to make some decisions very early in the year and as we all know, making decisions and planning ahead during COVID has been no easy task. Although things are on the upswing and people are traveling and socializing more, there are still challenges that were unforeseen. We chose a big and wonderful VBS program early on and we want to make sure that we have the resources, participation and excitement to make it the best it can be! We hope to see you next year!
