11:00 Lemonade & Fellowship in the Mary Helen Long Garden
What do beans, robots, and galaxies have in common? They will all be here for VBS next week!
Through daily Bible lessons, crafts, science, music, and missions, our Voyagers (VBS participants) will explore their "Vector Verse" Ephesians 3:20 "Glory to God, who is able to do far beyond all that we could ask or imagine by his power at work within us!" This is one of the most exciting weeks of faith formation for adults and children. Please pray for all the children who will walk through the doors and for all the adults and youth who will shepherd them in their faith journey this week. Don't forget there is an Adult VBS class on Sunday, Monday, and Tuesday at 6:30 p.m. in the Sanctuary. Our very own Patrick Murphy will lead "The Congregation's Song."
May these VBS "Power Launchers" guide you in the upcoming week: Go Beyond with Faith, Boldness, Kindness, Thankfulness, and Hope!

Vacation Bible School for Adults Begins this Sunday -- The Congregation's Song
Led by Patrick Murphy, Sunday-Tuesday Evenings, June 16-18, 6:30-8:00 p.m. in the Sanctuary. The congregation is "the true choir" of the church, for the congregation is the voice of the people. Our faith foundation is formed through our singing, for it is the song of the congregation we first sing with our lips and believe in our hearts. Over the course of three nights, we will explore our "song," walking through the hymnal and singing our faith.

February 14-29, 2020. This is an opportunity to see many Old and New Testament sites, but also an opportunity to "get off the bus" and meet and have meals with Palestinian Christian partners in the region. An itinerary and additional information is available in the church office.
