 ANNOUNCEMENTS

Adult VBS program for July 19-22  On four evenings in July, the 19-22, you and I are in for a treat.  Ghelin Menti, our Choir director, and I will be exploring a few of the 600+ hymns in our hymn book for their combined beauty both theologically and musically. We will begin with some light refreshment and then we will sing and explore the facets of faith found in the great hymns and songs of our faith. Each night will be focused on one of four themes- God the father /creator and sovereign; Jesus Christ, God’s son /Savior; God, The Holy Spirit /Redeemer and counselor; and finally the church, the body of Christ.

 NEW DAY:  Blessings on all who have donated so generously for at risk teenagers.  REMINDER: only single-serving, easily opened canned or packaged items can be used.  They cannot use larger or family-sized items or any made with peanut butter.
