What a fantastic Vacation Bible School we had last week!! Thank you to
Nathan and everyone who helped us with the exciting times we had! I can't name
everyone because I know I'd forget some people. We tried several new things this
year and we would like to hear from you to help us evaluate them. You can come to our
review meeting next Sunday or fill out a review form in the lobby and hand it to me.
Our youth group leaves on their Panama mission trip this week, so please keep Nathan and
Jules Woolard and Kate McIndoo in your prayers as they travel to Boquete, Panama. We look
forward to hearing great things about this trip!
Finally, I wanted to let you know that Louis Moschner has resigned as our custodian in order to have
more time to take care of Donna. Louis and Donna will continue to worship with us and Louis leaves on
excellent terms. We are grateful for his service and wish him and Donna the best. If you would be interested
in serving as the church custodian, please see any of the elders.

We are glad that you are now able to be a part of the youth group! This great privilege will help you grow as a person and,
most importantly, with God (if you allow it). You see, it is up to you to take advantage of the opportunities that the youth
program has to offer. In order to help you get the most out of what you are going to be a part of, we encourage you to follow
the road that is seen below. Begin your journey by committing yourself to being here for services and classes. Next, begin
to connect with those around you. Build relationships with the body of Christ. While doing this focus on your own spiritual
growth and strive to serve those around you. (Tip: You will also have many opportunities for growth and service with youth
events, but for them to help you, you have to be there!) Then, start reaching out and telling everyone about the Lord and his
church! Then you and this program will thrive! If you have any needs or questions always remember to ask! We are excited
that you will be a part of this great work!
