Vacation Bible School: Ready, Set, Move - THIS WEEK!
June 5 - 9 | 9:00am - Noon | FUMC Campus
This week more than 150 children will descend on our campus for Vacation Bible School. Our theme is READY, SET, MOVE! We’ll have Bible adventures, arts & crafts, games, tacky tourist day, and more. Our mission project this year is to help Embrace Florida Kids put together food boxes for families in need. You can help our kids meet their mission goal. Details will be made available in the coming days.
Please pray for all our leaders and volunteers that make VBS possible. This memorable week allows kids to grow their faith as they serve others and understand how they can follow Jesus here, there, and everywhere, and we couldn’t do it without our incredible staff and volunteers.
If you have already registered for VBS, you should have received an email detailing the week and pick-up and drop-off instructions. If you haven’t registered, there’s still time! Register here!
We will have a family celebration night on Friday at a Blue Wahoos game. Tickets sold separately HERE for $17/person.

Welcome the Congregation from Allen Chapel AME
Our brothers and sisters from the Allen Chapel AME Church just down the block will be meeting on our campus while their building undergoes repairs and construction. They will be meeting for their Sunday School at 9:30am and worship in the Great Hall of The Wright Place at 11:00am. They will also use Sunday School rooms and our Youth Building on Wednesday evenings. So if you see someone on campus who looks lost or like they need help, offer them your service if you can. Let’s welcome our neighbors and make them feel at home while they are with us this summer.

Summer Sunday School Sessions
Sundays, June 4–July 30 | 9:45am | The Wright Place, Great Hall
This summer, during the Sunday School hour (9:45–10:45am), we are inviting everyone to gather in the Great Hall for Summer Sunday School Sessions. Each week there will be a speaker(s) to share a story of faith with us. Speakers will include our local Rabbi, FUMC Clergy and Staff Members, our Tanzania team, and more! These sessions will help make space for new people, give teachers a break during the summer, and create an opportunity to get to know people from other classes. If you know of someone who would be a great speaker, please let Pastor Emily know (EKincaid@FUMCPensacola.com).
Next Week’s Session - The Rev. Chris Terrell
Next week, we will hear from our friend the Rev. Chris Terrell. Chris has been serving as a Navy Chaplain in Virginia Beach, VA, and on June 11, during the Sunday School hour, he will share his story of faith with us. Hope to see you there.

Make a commitment this season after Pentecost to read scripture each day. It's a good practice. If you don’t already have a daily devotion, the scriptures below are designed to expand the range of biblical reading in worship and personal devotion. You can find them in the bulletin each week. The Daily Readings are taken from “The Daily Office Lectionary” in The Book of Common Prayer. Read the Bible each week. It will be a blessing.
Monday - Psalms 41, 52; Deut. 11:13-19; 2 Cor. 5:11--6:2; Lk 17:1-10
Tuesday - Psalm 45; Deut. 12:1-12; 2 Cor. 6:3-13; Lk 17:11-19
Wednesday - Psalm 119:49-72; Deut. 13:1-11; 2 Cor. 7:2-16; Lk 17:20-37
Thursday - Psalm 50; Deut. 16:18-20; 17:14-20; 2 Cor. 8:1-16; Lk 18:1-8
Friday - Psalms 40, 54; Deut. 26:1-11; 2 Cor. 8:16-24; Lk 18:9-14
