From Your Pastor

As I type this, things are pretty busy around here with all the preparations for Celebrate America. By the time you receive this, Celebrate
America will be only a couple of days away, and it promises to be one of
the best ever. I am excited to have once again the opportunity to host this
powerful presentation of patriotic passion. My work begins in earnest in
the next few days as I struggle to memorize my part. As I get older, that
task becomes a little more difficult, but I think the effort is worth it.
I have shared with our church staff how important it is that we all remember that we are a team working together to make this special day a
great success. So its all hands on deck, everyone doing whatever it takes
to make it happen. But you, also, are part of this team, so what exactly are
you willing to do to help out with Celebrate America? I know many of
you will be singing and serving, but some of you will be blessed with the
opportunity of sitting in the audience and enjoying the program. If that is
true for you, there are three things I would love for you to do:
Tell everyone you know about Celebrate America at 10:30 a.m. on
July 3rd, but also tell them about the concert at the Spirit of America Festival at 7:00 p.m. that night.
Come with an expectant heart that God is going to use this program to touch someone with the gospel of Jesus Christ and the
hope of healing for our nation that can come only through God.
Make our guests feel welcome and special. How can you do this?
Leave the best parking spots for our guests. Dont save seats in the
sanctuary. And move to the center of the pew to allow people to
get in and out a little more easily.

39er's Luncheon News...

39er's will not meet July or August. We will resume on September 20th with our regular
luncheon at 11:45 in the fellowship hall.
We've had a busy beginning to our summer

in the Children's Department! Now that VBS
is behind us, we are getting ready to go to
CentriKid! We will be leaving on Friday,
July 8th and returning on Sunday, July 10th.
Since this is our first experience with camp,
we decided to do the weekend session instead
of trying to do an entire week. I cannot possibly thank you enough for the outpouring of donations that we received! I know that God is going to use this experience to bless
these precious children and change their lives as a result of your
generosity. You'll never realize how you have already touched
their lives through this process. For most of our children, the fee to
attend camp would have been an insurmountable obstacle. By
showing God's love and your love in this way you have blessed
them beyond belief before we ever even leave the building.
Following camp we will be continuing with our summer schedule for the month of July. The new school year kicks off the second week in August and we will go back to our normal routine at
that point. We are going to need some new workers in Awana as
well as some new workers for Children's Church. We are also in
need of nursery workers to work on a rotating basis. All positions
working with children require some routine paperwork. Our Child
Protection Policy requires that anyone working with our young
people pass a basic background check. If you're interested in serving in any of these areas, please let me or Pam know and we will
get you the necessary forms. Please don't let this scare you off! It's
not as complicated and intimidating as you may think. I promise
you that the blessing you will receive working with these children
will make it well worth your time.
Thank you again for your support for our Children's Ministry!
Your encouragement, prayers and kind words mean more than you
can imagine!
Love,
Tanya
