I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ, for it is the power of God to salvation

for everyone who believes.” Romans 1:16




Four new books by Lori Wick have been added to the Church Library. This series of novels is among the best of her work. They are…

The Kensington Chronicles:

The Hawk and the Jewel”

Wings of the Morning”

Who Brings Forth the Wind”

The Knight and the Dove”

Lori Wick’s work of Christian inspirational fiction is beautifully done in this series. We hope you will check them out and spend many hours of enjoyment reading them. The Library will be open the 1st Sunday during the Sunday school hour every month. Dottie will have a brief children’s story for you, so you won’t want to miss it! Check with her and Get this on your Sunday school schedule.  And we encourage the children to check out some of the really cool books we have.


VACATION BIBLE SCHOOL

There will be a change to this year’s VBS – an all day, one day Vacation Bible School.

Saturday, June 26th 9 AM – 3 PM

Music, Bible Study, Fun & Crafts

Mark your calendars & plan to come!

Classes will be available for all ages through youth and adults.

VBS is one of the most strategic outreach tools of the church. More people have come to know Jesus as Savior through VBS than any other single outreach event.

Let’s all saddle up for Jesus!

FOCUS ON PRAYER

Thy Word is a lamp unto my feet, a light unto my path.” Psalm 119:105

Guide my steps by Your Word so that I will not be overcome by evil.” Psalm 119:133


During my devotional time in recent weeks I have started making a list of descriptive words in the Bible, words that give us help and encouragement when we read the Word of God. I was amazed with all the comforting and encouraging words that God included in His special book written for us. The following list is what I would like to share with you. If you wish to add to this list in your own devotional time with the Lord, I encourage you to do that.

The Bible gives us words of:

Blessing; Comfort; Compassion; Courage; Deliverance; Encouragement; Faith; Forgiveness; Goodness; Help; Hope; Honor; Inspiration; Instruction; Love; Meditation; Mercy; Praise; Peace; Perseverance; Power; Protection; Refuge; Salvation; Security; Strength; Trust; Truth; Victory; Wisdom; Worship.

It is my prayer this month that as we spend special time with our Savior, and time in His Word, we will be filled with His ever-present love and the meaning and fulfillment of each of these special words. C.A.Cole
