Greetings!

Happy Independence Day. We hope this message finds you safe and healthy.
 
Virtual VBS
Sunday, July 5, is your final opportunity to register your children for our VBS "Where in the World is God? A Virtual Journey," which begins Monday, July 6. Throughout the week, you will gain access to a daily video where you'll find songs, lessons, art projects, and science experiments to fill the week.
 
On Friday, July 10, Children's Ministry is hosting a come-and-go celebration on the courtyard where our travelers can trade in their passports for a treat and a T-shirt. It will also be an opportunity to bring your donations for our VBS mission project to benefit Allen Community Outreach.

Adult Ministry is hostingTWO in-person Bible studies that begin next week. The first, "The Parables of Jesus," begins on Monday July 6 at 7:00pm. Susan Hale will lead the class in this "Deeper Connections" study as we gather new meanings and applications of these stories to our lives today.
