Gtown Kids is ready for an EXCITING SUMMER! VBS looks like it exploded all over the campus. We are so excited about all the events planned to show these kiddos the love of Jesus.

Vacation Bible School kicks off Monday night, June 21. It is for COMPLETED Kindergarten through completed 6th grade. Nursery and Preschool VBS will be provided for our volunteers. We can’t wait to show these kids how TREASURED they are by our mighty God!

Camps are coming up SUPER FAST starting July 1st. Path 56 (our preteen ministry for 5th and 6th grade) will be going to Over The Edge camp at Pineywoods camp! It will be a fun trip for them and the leaders too!

Our completed 4th graders have been chomping at the bit to get into Path 56 and they are so close!! Their last event before they move to Path 56 is their Camp Copass. They leave out for the beloved Camp Copass camp July 12th. We have quite the group signed up for Copass. It’s going to be a great week watching these sweet kids learn about Jesus and His great and mighty love for them.

Right smack in the middle of both camps for our older kids is Mini Camp! Mini Camp is for COMPLETED Kindergarten through COMPLETED 2nd grade. I wanted to try something different for them this year and give them something of their own without it being the full camp experience. This event is a day “camp”. There is no spending the night, no late night “I want to go home” phone calls, but a whole lot of fun! It is July 9th and 10th from 10 am to 4 pm. We will provide snacks and lunch for our campers along with a daring adventure for TRUTH!

I am so blessed to be in a position where I can spend my days singing His praises and studying His Word with all of your kids. Speaking of kids, they seem to be outnumbering us these days. The past month we have had 50+ kids on Wednesdays and that is totally God’s hand on our church and our ministries. If you would like to be a part of Gtown Kids or Path 56, contact me and I will plug you in! Thank you for giving me this opportunity to be along for the ride.

Love Y’all BIG,

Hey Georgetown family!

The Reach is excited to say that the school year is over, and summer has officially begun! That means Falls Creek is coming up and a bunch of summer activities are happening to make this summer full of fun and Jesus.

Before I get too deep in this newsletter, I want to congratulate all our Seniors who graduated this year. If you see a senior in service congratulate them and pray for them as they are about to embark on a new journey.

Now Falls Creek is June 14^th-19^th and the cost is $250 for each student. Is is for all who have completed 7^th-12^th grade. I’m super pumped for this years Falls Creek and so ready to see what God has in store. Now we want all kids to go and if you want to help The Reach you can sponsor a kid to go to camp! This is an amazing way to help our student get a week full of the gospel. Talk to Maverick if you are interested in helping in that way.

I am excited for this summer for The Reach, God is going to do big things! If you want to help in any way possible this summer, talk to me and I will get you plugged in!

As always be on the lookout for more updates and contact me anytime. This has been an amazing year so far, and I’m “Super Pumped” for the future of The Reach!

As I have now moved into a full time position as Senior Adult Pastor and have expanded interim duties for the entire church, it is such a blessing for me to serve this incredible congregation! My door is always open and I am always happy to visit with and be of service to each of you.

The number one request was for casual get-togethers. To that end, Janie Allen has designated the third Friday of each month as “Friday Frenzy”! Mark your calendars! Our first one was held May 21^st and everyone had a fun time. The next one will be July 16^th. (No June date due to VBS).

At the beginning of each event, starting at 5pm, there will be a light dinner (at no charge) followed by a testimony and then games for those who desire to play. Or if you’re not interested in games, you can just sit and visit. It’s a relaxing evening of fellowship. Invite a friend to join in!

The initial stages of the “Care Captains” program, for our most vulnerable senior members of our church and the Care Teams who support them, is in the works. “Care Captains” are people of any age, who are willing to check on seniors by phone calls and/or visits.

Care Teams are those who will go to the homes to help meet the needs. A luncheon to discuss this ministry in detail is upcoming. Prayerfully consider if you would like to be a part of this much needed ministry.

Our day trip to the Museum of Biblical Art in Dallas, and lunch at “The Flying Fish” was a great success! Do you have a place you’d like to recommend for a day trip? Please let Janie Allen or myself know.

On July 24, a “Luau” will be the one big event this year, with a delicious dinner and a skit. The dinner by “Ringtail Barbeque” is going to be amazing! And the talent…you won’t want to miss this!

One final note, if you or someone you know is not able to attend church and would like a bulletin mailed to them, please let me know and we will put them on the weekly mailing list.

Summer is starting to heat up! Stay cool and safe and have a great one!

Blessings to each of you,

Larry Clonts

Summer is here! Temperatures are rising (although we have had a lot of rain), students are out of school, families are planning vacations and the restrictions that impacted much of our lives over the last year are beginning to be lifted. We are seeing lots of change all around us including in the worship ministry!

Whether we are making updates to our equipment, constructing a new stage design, or introducing songs into our normal rotation of music, change comes in many forms and we are adapting to and embracing that change. One big change is the implementation of a mid-week rehearsal for our band, vocalists, and technical team. This rehearsal occurs on Thursday nights at 6:00 PM. It is a time when we can not only prepare for the upcoming Sunday service but also, build relationships with others serving in the worship ministry.

We trouble shoot issues ahead of our weekend worship time and work together to plan various elements of our time of worship. This rehearsal also allows those who may be interested in serving in the worship ministry to come and see what it’s all about, apart from a Sunday morning.

I would like to invite anyone who has a desire to use their gifts to lead others in worship to contact me! We need you and would love for you to join the team!

During this season where we find so much change happening in our lives, remember to find comfort in this, Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever (Hebrews 13:8). So, embrace the change in your life or ministry and thank the Lord that he is unchanged through it all!
