This summer we’re enjoying a Bible study on the Fruit of the Spirit by Dr. James Merritt. Join us for this encouraging video series. Sunday School starts at 9:30 AM
Because love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control seem so commonly discussed in church today, we often gloss-over when we hear them mentioned. Yet, you’ve noticed them in others and were intrigued. That same intrigue is what God will use to draw others to us.
On May 28, 2016 the youth will be participating in a mission project taking place at The Springs Camp. Along with another youth group, they will be be working on building a bouldering wall/fence. The cost is $20 per person to cover the cost of materials. See Barrett Lehr to sign up for the project. An additional $1300 is needed for building material and you can help by contributing. Please mark your gift "The Springs Wall Project" and place in the offering or mail to the church.
The Vacation Bible School leader and helper planning session with Uncle Bob is Sunday, May 22 at 5 PM. We will meet to discuss staffing of each room, what that entails for teachers and volunteer youth, and address any last minute questions or concerns. All helpers are required to attend.
Please start collecting candy and bath tissue rolls. This will help Uncle Bob and the Vacation Bible School Programs for children all over our area. There will be a collection basket behind the information desk for these items.
And let’s pray for Bob Beery, all the helpers and the children.
Vacation Bible School is June 12-16, 2016 — 6-8:30 PM.

Recently we completed our series of sermons studying through the book of Hebrews. Start to finish the focus is on Christ and His supremacy over all.
I’ve also been challenging our church family in the past couple of weeks to be certain that if you choose to celebrate Christmas that you are certain to celebrate the Christ of Christmas.
Along those lines I thought it fitting as we approach Christmas day to walk back through the book of Hebrews to show you just ten reasons among many for celebrating the birth of Christ, no matter what the season.
Here are three of the reasons. You’ll find the rest and the scriptures to go with them on my blog.
We should celebrate the birth of Christ…
