VBS Mission Focus for July |
During the month of July, Vacation Bible School is supporting the Christian Children's Home of Ohio. The purpose of CCHO is to be a safe and stable environment where abused, neglected and traumatized children find healing, discover hope and experience unconditional love.
Dan Franks, Director of Development, visited with us on Sunday, July 11 and gave a special talk to the kids where he told them a little about the Christian Children's Home and shared several meaningful stories.

Vacation Bible School has always been dedicated to teaching children about God. Through music & song, Bible lessons, skits and various activities, we share the good news that God loves YOU to each and every child.
Rocky Railway VBS pulled out of the station last Sunday with a lot of singing, games, crafts and fun. We posted some photos of the evening on our Facebook and Instagram pages and we encourage you to stop by to check them out.
Parents, if your child isn't registered, no worries! They're welcome to join us this Sunday.

Ministry doesn't just happen. It takes prayer, planning and a team of people to make sure we worship on Sunday, study the Bible together, pray for someone as a group, host a special event or maintain the church building and grounds.
Volunteers are the core of any church and we're thankful for each and every one of you!

Blood Drive on Monday, August 2 |
It isn't unusual for the Red Cross to face blood shortages in the summer months. With the warmer weather, but due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the amount of donations have dramatically decreased. As a result, the Red Cross is asking all eligible donors to please give blood.
If you are are a long-time donor or have never given before, please consider joining us for our Blood Drive on Monday, August 2 from 2:00 to 7:00 PM in the Atrium. Donations generally take about an hour to complete, but you can speed up that process by using the RapidPass system. |
|
If Monday, August 2 doesn't work for you, please consider donating at a different location. The Red Cross has dozens of donation sites available and one might be very close to you. Please go to the Red Cross website to find a blood drive close to you! |

Monthly Prayer
A Prayer for our Children: Lord, we pray for our children as they grow in you. We pray first for their protection, as we know they are yours, before they are ever ours. We pray that their faith would grow to be even stronger than our own. (Proverbs 22:6)
