Praise the Lord for Vacation Bible School, as He continues to use this great ministry opportunity to grow our faith and draw people to Himself! Below, you can see a few pictures highlighting this year’s VBS. To watch the Sunday morning program and worship celebration, go HERE.
Our annual Vacation Bible School family celebration and lunch will be this coming Sunday, August 1. The program will take place during our morning worship service, which begins at 10:40, and the lunch will follow the service. After lunch we will also have plenty of fun and games for children and their families, including snow cones, water games, a water slide, the famous bounce house, popcorn, and more. Everyone is invited to join us, so please spread the word. As always, we will kick off our Sunday morning at 9:30 with Family Groups (aka Sunday School) for all ages, so we hope you’ll join us during that time, too. Children participating in the VBS program will need to be here at 9:30, as we will go over things during family groups.
Vacation Bible School is almost here! Nightly from 5-8 p.m., VBS will take place Sunday, July 25 through Thursday, July 29. We hope your kids will join us and that you will consider volunteering.
Supper (for all interested kids and volunteers) will be served each evening (Sunday through Thursday) at 5:00 with the VBS program beginning at 5:30. We will be done right at 8:00 each night, and we’ll finish off the week with a big VBS family celebration (10:40 a.m.) and lunch on Sunday, August 1.
VBS is for children who recently completed pre-school through sixth grade, with nursery only being provided for the children of our volunteers.

During this special worship celebration on Sunday evening, some International Mission Board (IMB) missionaries from Central Asia will be sharing about their work. This will be an exciting time to hear some incredible stories, see why the Lottie Moon Christmas Offering is such a great thing, and learn how we can better partner with our IMB missionaries.
A finger-foods reception will follow the service. Please spread the word and make plans to join us.

At the beginning of our Sunday morning worship celebration on June 27, 2021, Barrett Bloss publicly declared his faith in Jesus Christ as Savior and Lord through believer’s baptism. Here are his testimony and baptism, which his dad, Nate Bloss, had the amazing privilege of doing…
The book of Ezra is powerful. In it, we see God do what only He can do: reclaim and redeem His people. How does Ezra apply to us today, though?
This five-week series addresses what God did for the Jewish people throughout the events recorded in the book of Ezra. Through failure, forgetting what is important, and sin, we may become exiles attempting to return to God. However, just as in the book of Ezra God reclaimed his people according to his promises, He also reclaims and redeems our lives for His purpose in this world.
Throughout the book of Ezra, there are major themes that point us to God’s grace then and today. He still uses unlikely people to accomplish His purposes. He still reclaims us as His children when we turn to Him. Like the Israelites building the altar, God has now declared that His temple is His people. And just as the Israelites heard from God’s Word, we too should hear from God’s Word.
Here is the planned schedule…
Sunday, June 13 – “God Is Faithful (Reclaimed Hope)” (Ezra 1-2)
Sunday, June 20 – “Life Let’s You Down (Reclaimed Joy)” (Ezra 3)
Sunday, June 27 – “Difficulty Is Normal (Reclaimed Strength)” (Ezra 4)
Sunday, July 4 – Special Gospel-Centered Message from Nate Bloss
Sunday, July 11 – “Prosperity Is the Lord’s (Reclaimed Victory)” (Ezra 5-6)
Sunday, July 18 – “God’s Word Is Essential (Reclaimed Obedience)” (Ezra 7)
Sunday, July 25 – “Trust in the Lord (Reclaimed Faith)” (Ezra 8)
Sunday, August 1 – “Jesus – Our Strong Foundation!” (Philippians 1:6 for VBS Sunday)
Sunday, August 8 – Special Gospel-Centered Message from Allen Tippett
Sunday, August 15 – “Turn to the Lord (Reclaimed Repentance)” (Ezra 9-10)
