| | The Summer Begins...As the daylight hours grow longer, and our youth in the church look forward to the closing weeks of school, there's no denying the fact that summer is finally with us.
A blessed Memorial Day to all, as we not only enjoy a day off from our work, but remember the fallen heroes of our country who have paved the way for the freedoms enjoyed in our country and in defense of those freedoms around the world. As the Korean War Memorial in Washington, D.C., reminds us, "Freedom is not Free." We ought to reflect soberly, what are we doing with the freedoms afforded to us? Let us never take these things for granted, as we serve as stewards of God's blessings entrusted to us.
The annual Faith In Art Show held at church will be on June 14! Get your artwork ready to show God’s creativeness and giftedness in your life. It’s another format to share your testimony of faith, especially for those who are not as at ease in using the spoken word. Many types of creative expression (paintings, drawings, sculpture, computer art, crafts, songs, poetry, etc.) are welcome. Sign up forms will be coming out soon. Group projects also encouraged.
Our church retreat at Messiah College is coming up in June, from June 19-21. Save that date on your calendars.
Lastly, this year's Guatemala Short Term Missions trip is scheduled for August 2-19. Keep track of the preparations of the team members as we train and get donations ready for our church's sixth trip down to Guatemala with Fe Viva World Missions. The G-Team 2009 blog is here.
Enjoy time with your families this summer and continue to keep our church, our members and our ministries in your prayers! |
