VBS: Join us for a packed week of fun, fellowship and Bible study as we learn what it means to LIVE FULLY ALIVE! Together we will learn about the lives of Joseph, Esther, Jesus and Paul. We will also learn about the Early Church. Jesus told us, “I have come so that they may have life. I want them to have it in the fullest possible way. (John 10:19b)” Through large and small group time, games, snacks, crafts, mission and music we will learn to live like God is with us, live like God has a plan for us, live like Jesus is alive, live like people matter and live like we are part of a bigger story.

EVANGELISM OPPORTUNITY: The evangelism committee is excited to provide EVANGEBAGS for the congregation. These bags are a great alternative to hand out to people on street corners, intersections, etc. who are asking for money or assistance. The bags contain a Bible, socks, hand sanitizer or tissue, soap, water, a tract, a granola bar, and a phone list of helpful numbers offering aid. The bags are outside the sanctuary in boxes marked “Evangebags”. We ask that you take 1-2 per family and keep them in your car to have ready when the opportunity comes along.
