Favorite Bible Stories Needed!

What's your favorite Bible story or passage? Would you like to learn more about it or share it with others in the church? Here's your chance! We are developing future sermon series and we want to know which passages or stories in Scripture are your favorites. They can be old Sunday School favorites, most meaningful to you, or just ones you enjoy hearing or reading. Fill out the online form here (or click the image above) or fill out a paper card on Sunday in church. Let's hear from you and see what your favorites are!
Holy Land Journey 2023
Ever been to the Holy Land? Always wanted to go? Here's a great opportunity! I will be leading a group, along with two other pastors, as we travel to the Holy Land in March 2023 for a pilgrimage that will help us grow in our faith and love of Jesus, while taking in some of the great sights and visiting some of the most famous Biblical landmarks.

I would love for you to be a part of this journey. Click here (or on the image below) to get more information, and if you want more info/have questions, please don't hesitate to contact me.

Vacation Bible School Registration Is Open!
To Register, click here - please feel free to share this link with those who might be interested in joining us!

We are so excited to be hosting our first Vacation Bible School event at Buckhall church since 2019! The dates for VBS are July 25-29, from 9am-11:30am each day. I can't wait to see all of our young friends back for another special week of growing together in faith. In our time in a Great Big Beautiful World, we'll be enjoying the beauty & wonder of creation together with learning about the beauty & wonder of God's word and the story it tells us of God's love for all of creation, including every one of us.

We need volunteers to make this happen well though - and we'd love to have your help!
If you're able to assist, please contact Ann Baker or email the church office, and we will get you signed up to help with a Great Big Beautiful World!
