Good Morning,
Vacation Bible School was
a great week as we had almost 100 children and over 30 teachers and
workers. The theme was “Jesus, Our
Strong Foundation.” Each lesson pointed
to Jesus and building our lives in faith on Him. Thank you to all who participated and served
during this most important week.
One of the fun parts of
Vacation Bible School is the music and songs that go along with each day’s
lessons. There are motions and movements
that are fun as well. Here are videos
for the 2021 Vacation Bible School songs for you and your children to sing and
move together: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cOxIYtsouq8
All ladies, please note, the June Women on
Mission meeting has been canceled for tonight.
The 2021 Summer shirts are
a big hit with almost all adult sizes being taken. We will put in a re-order this week and have
additional shirts as soon as possible.
Wear your shirt as you go about your regular routine and be ready to
share the blessing of the peace you have in Jesus Christ.
The June Business Meeting will be this Wednesday,
June 16 at 6:30 PM in the Sanctuary.
This week is the annual
meeting of the Southern Baptist Convention in Nashville, April 14-16. There are several issues that will be dealt
with and the Messengers need Godly wisdom as they make decisions. Please pray for the messengers from across
the United States as we gather, pray, worship, and do the business of the
convention for the glory and under the direction of the Lord Jesus Christ.
You can watch all the sessions
of the Southern Baptist Convention on Tuesday and Wednesday online by going to https://sbcannualmeeting.net/ and
click on “Watch Live.”
The Sew’n Sews ladies
sewing group for Operation Christmas Child dresses, will meet this Thursday,
June 17 at 9:30 AM in the Christian Life Center. All ladies are invited to be a part of this
monthly ministry.
Just a reminder that all
Sunday School classes are meeting in-person on Sunday mornings at 9:00 AM. Sunday School is a vital part of establishing
connections with one another and the work of the church. I encourage everyone to be in a Sunday School
class each week.

The RightNow Media video series of the week is “Ephesians” by the President of
the Southern Baptist Convention, J. D. Greer.
The Book of Ephesians is a survival manual—it equips believers to thrive
in a world that hates the message of Jesus Christ. Paul the Apostle writes to
encourage believers to live well—we've been lifted from the graveyard of sin
and called to shout the gospel into the darkened world. Pastor and author J.D. Greear walks through
the powerful words of Paul. In 9 sessions, J.D. digs into the text of Ephesians
verse-by-verse and challenges believers to live out the gospel. Check out this first session: https://www.rightnowmedia.org/Content/Series/195647?episode=1

Have a blessed week,
Bro. Tim
