Dear Church Family,
As I write this article, Vacation Bible School is just around the corner. That is
always an exciting time of the year. It is a fun time for the children and a great
outreach, evangelistic opportunity, as we get to share the good news about Jesus.
After the week of VBS, we will have our Family and Friends day on Sunday
morning, June 28th, during the morning service time.
Why have a big day like that?
1. To reach new people. We want to cooperate with God to reach as many
people as we can, while we can. We have the responsibility to reach people
for Christ, point them to a new life, and then help them to mature (make
disciples). It is about reaching the community, but that will not happen
without an intentional effort on our part.
2. To get us, as members, to look beyond ourselves. An inward focus will cause
a church to die. Remember, its not all about us. It gives us an opportunity
to serve others, with an attitude of love. We grow in the process.
3. It makes the devil mad. I know this should not be the primary reason, but isnt
it fun to do that sometimes? Unfortunately, the devil may not be the only one
who does not like it, but we must not allow some to pull us away from what
God would have us to do.
Please be praying for the children who will attend, their parents and families, and
all our workers. Pray for the Holy Spirit to move in the lives of children and
adults.
Remember our mission as a church is to make disciples. We want to create
environments where people can connect, grow, and serve in order to help them
become fully devoted followers of Christ. We want to help people connect to
Jesus and other people, grow spiritually and serve others in order that they might
become fully devoted followers.
We will soon be celebrating our freedom on the July 4th weekend. We want to
always be celebrating our freedom in Christ. How great is our God!
In His love,
Bro. DarrolBro. DarrolBro. DarrolBro. Darrol

Lake Yale Baptist Conference Center, July 20-24
Students, this is going to be a week we will remember
for the rest of our lives. I pray you will take every
advantage to get to know God better than you do now.
Our week will be filled with lots of extreme
recreation : paintball, high ropes, low ropes, rock climbing
wall, lakeside activities, super sized slip-n-slide and much
more, but the purpose of Super Summer is for you to
know God better. This week will prepare you for a life
of ministry. You will be prepared to defend Christianity
and represent Jesus well on your campus and to your
friends.
Pray for our students, leaders, and Pastors.
Reminder: On Monday, July 20, students should
arrive at 8:00 am at the Smith Building to check in. The
