It was good to have most everybody back on Sunday morning. I know some of you were missing…still on vacation or at family gatherings or whatever. Just know that you were missed. We just aren’t the same when some of the family is missing!

We had another Spirit infused time of prayer Sunday night. It was such a blessing to sing the praises of God through song, Scripture and prayer. The more we do this the more we are expressing our dependence on God, and an utter dependence on God is where we need to be.

“And when they had prayed, the place in which they were gathered together was shaken, and they were filled with the Holy Spirit and continued to speak the word of God with boldness.” (Acts 4:31)

And as we are thinking about praying…we are coming up on Vacation Bible School Week (July 5-9). So this is the last opportunity to invite your neighbor kids, family friends, and relatives to come for this exciting week. Each night will start with a snack supper at 5:30. This puts something in the stomach of the kids so they will have all the energy to make it through an action packed Bible School. VBS will kick of at 6:15 pm with a rally in the auditorium. The night will end at 8:45. If you have the time, energy and talent to give, please sign up as soon as possible or call the church office and let Amanda know.

I want to encourage everyone to be praying every day for VBS. This is something we all must do if we expect to see results for the kingdom of God. Pray for the kids’ hearts to be open to the gospel. Pray for the staff that they would clearly show and teach the gospel to the kids. Pray for the safety of everyone. Pray for good weather.

Grace & Peace,
