Summer Camp: This summer, 34 children from our church were sent to Christian camps with your help from our campership fund. Our mission budget provides ½ the cost for one week at a Christian camp for any child that attends Sunday School, Youth Club, and/or The Cause. This can make a huge difference for parents who otherwise may have to decide between sending only one of several children to camp, or no one at all. With all the different choices available for kids, we are so glad to encourage them with a lasting experience, one that will strengthen their relationship with Jesus Christ….one that has eternal benefits! Thank you for your support!
Rainforest Falls VBS: Exploring the Nature of God! The week of July 13-17 was a valuable week in the Kingdom of God as 36 children (11 from our church, 25 from the community) learned five foundational truths about the nature of God. The daily Bible points taught kids that God is our Creator, He is All-knowing, He is our Safe Place, He is Love, and He is Forever…wow God! Beneath a canopy of chattering birds and howling monkeys, kids plunged into an adventure of discovering the nature of God. They explored what it means to be rooted in relationship with God, their creator, a refuge in life’s storms. Children learned about the daily Bible point and Bible stories through drama, songs, games, science experiments, videos and crafts. God faithfully provided XX adults, teens, and tweens who served as crew leaders, station leaders, snack preparers, station helpers, crew helpers, nursery caregivers, and photographers. Thank you also to ALL who supported us with generous donations, prayers, scenery help, set up, and clean up! We appreciate each of you! Our VBS mission project, Operation Kid to Kid, raised $411.10 for fruit trees for families living in Central America. What a generous bunch of VBS families! That’s a God sighting!
“To Him who is able to do exceedingly, abundantly above all we can think or ask, according to His power that is at work within us, to Him be the glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, for ever and ever! Amen!”
