, Issue 27 THE NEWSLETTER

Note from the Pastor:

I am humiliated, ashamed and

challenged by this passage. I have

lived in the Stoney Pointe subdivision

for over 7 years. There are 246 homes

in that subdivision and I have not

shared my testimony or the gospel

with ANY of them. I am an ordained

minister of the Gospel of Jesus Christ

and He has entrusted me with the

Gospel to proclaim this Gospel to the

ends of the earth and then the end

shall come (Matthew 24:10). I have

failed miserably!

The Lord God has charged you and

me to proclaim the great things God

has done for us through our testimony

and the Gospel to every person (Mt

28:19; Mark 16:15; Luke 24:47; John

20:21; Acts 1:8). We are not responsi-

ble for conversions, but we are re-

sponsible to proclaim this message to

all those around us. So let’s together

commit to seeing the glory of Jesus

spread through the Gospel to those in

our spheres of influence. If you missed

the message on Sunday, please listen to

it on our website. You will be

challenged. Then consider taking a

serious step of faith concerning

Christ’s command to us and join us on

Wednesday nights beginning August

31 for prayer and evangelism training

that will include going out and sharing

what great things Jesus has done for us

through the Gospel. Please let me

know if you are interested.

Determined to have a war-time

mentality!

—Tim

“Return to your house and describe what great things

God has done for you.” So he

went away proclaiming throughout the whole city

what great things Jesus had done for him.

—Luke 8:39

Jesus commanded the healed

demoniac to go back to his home and

share with others his personal testi-

mony of how the Lord had healed him.

According to Mark 5:20, this one new

Gentile believer went throughout the

entire 10-city area of Decapolis and

proclaimed what great things Jesus

had done for him; and everyone was

amazed. How much more should we

share the great things Jesus has done

for us through our own testimonies and

the Gospel?!?

MUSIC NOTES:

Thank you to all the dedicated brothers and sisters who participated in the choir for the past 11 months! You are all wonderful singers and friends. I enjoy our hard work and our sweet fellowship. As you know, we will take a break un-til August 17. We will begin choir rehearsals again on Wednesday, August 17. Spread the work among your friends. I hope to see you all and some new

faces, too, after the summer break! —Allen

ALL IN THE FAMILY

The second day of VBS 2011 is in the history book and a good day it was! So far the children have brought in 125 cans of food for We Care and the week has only just begun! If you have a child coming to VBS, or if you come as a worker, don’t forget to bring your cans to add to the boxes. Speaking of food for We Care, did you know that Rae and Don Paczynski take the food you bring in each Sunday

to We Care. Last week they transported 130 pounds that you brought! Isn’t that neat! Now back to VBS – if you have a chance, do come and see it in action. It takes the entire church family in order to make this happen. We simply could not do it without everybody’s support. The youth are a vital part of this pro-gram, and the children probably enjoy them more than anybody! Then there are the senior adults … or the Sassy Sisters … who year after year set up, pass out and clean up the snacks each day. It is indeed a family project and everybody’s help is needed. Your job (and mine) continues to be to pray that many children (and maybe some adults, too) will come to know the Lord Jesus during this very important week. Love, —Helen

Lessons from Church Cat:

Max, my dog, treasures his bone. Not only does he treasure his bone, he guards and

protects his bone from everyone. Many times Max is lying on the floor happily chewing on his bone when CC walks by him oblivious to the danger. This will prompt Max into

action! He puts on his fiercest look and will growl or snap, depending on how grievous the offense by CC. Poor

CC looks at Max with the expression “Silly dog, cats don’t like bones!” And she struts off. CC could care less

about Max’s treasure, but Max doesn’t know that.

Did you know that God treasures His people? In Deuteronomy 7:6 it states “. . .the LORD your God has

chosen you to be a people for His treasured possession . . .” God was speaking to the Israelites in this instance, but it pertains to us, too. All of His chosen people are a treasure to Him. I admit when I look at my

sin-filled life, I don’t feel like anyone’s treasure. But God sees me as His treasure, not for anything I have

done or will do. He sees me as His treasure because He has set His love upon me. He has set His love upon all

of His children. This world we live in could care less about God’s treasure.

Do you treasure God? Do you treasure His Word? Do you treasure His Son? I’ve been thinking a lot lately about treasure, what it is, what it means to be treasured and what my treasures actually are. What are you

treasuring today?

Praying for God to help me treasure Him, —Diana

Wow, VBS is finally here. We are having a great week with over 120 children, traveling the

High Seas as we learn more about our Bibles and how God speaks to us through His Word. We

are learning verses from Psalm 119, and seeing God do amazing things all around us. Come to

the 6:30 p.m. program on Friday night (July 15) to see all we have learned. And get a free hot dog dinner, too! Plus, we

will have a giant slide outside to celebrate the end of our adventure together. We will also sing some of our favorite

songs Sunday morning at our 10:30 a.m. service.

THANK YOU to all the wonderful adults and teens who have helped to decorate our church, make snacks, sing

songs, create crafts, teach Bible truths, and share the Love of Jesus with our children this week. It is truly amazing

to see the body of Christ come together, all for His Glory!!! POOL PARTY Wednesday morning (July 13) at the

church office for all the young families and their children up to first grade. Meet there at 10:00 a.m. with your float
