    Our Students spent a week learning about God as the Good Shepherd at Camp. We as a ministry have a couple of prayer points for our Students following the week!

    • Pray that students see and believe that we have a Good God who truly desires them!
    • Pray for our students to see their need for Jesus as the Good Shepherd!

    Our Ministry will continue to meet every Sunday morning @ 9:15 in the Rafters!

    IT IS VACATION BIBLE SCHOOL MONTH! VBS is a huge undertaking and I would love your support in whatever form that takes.

    • Decorating the worship center after Church, July 12th
    • Purchasing requested snack items for kids attending VBS
    • Purchasing requested craft items
    • Volunteering during VBS (snack prep, crew leader, station helper, camp helper)
    • Praying for everyone volunteering and attending- without God leading, it is just another summer camp.

    We will also be having a family fun night Thursday, July 16th at 6pm for VBS families to attend- and we want church members there too! This is such a great ministry opportunity to meet people in our community. Not only that, but we will have hotdogs, chips, drinks, and Kona Ice available. Please mark your calendars and plan to attend this event!

    Once we are on the other side of VBS, it will be time to get ready for the kids’ Promotion Sunday where Sunday School classrooms will change with some kids moving up to the next class. This will happen on Sunday, August 2nd. Not too long after that, it will be time for fall programming to begin so stay in touch for those updates.

    Church, please pray for our upcoming VBS. Please pray for our Volunteers. Please pray for our kids. Please pray for our church leadership.

     

  • Music Musings, Vol. 66, No. 7, July 2026

    There are three remaining concerts in our Summer Concert series.

    July 19 – Doug Mikan – ventriloquist

    Doug brings incredible energy to his performances as he interacts with his puppet friends.

    You will be delighted with his extraordinary performance vitality.  He has a remarkable ability to read his audience and improvise accordingly.

    July 26 – Fee Fee Musicians

    Our concert on July 26 will feature our own talented musicians who will showcase talents representing a variety of genres.

    You will also hear from our choir as they sing some of their favorites.

    August 2 – The Lesters

    The Lesters are a family of gospel singers who have been proclaiming the Gospel in song since 1925.  The group now represents the fourth generation and is expected to continue.  Their Mission statement continues:  “Carry the message of Jesus Christ”

    As always these concerts are free to attend.  However the opportunity for you to contribute to their ministries will be offered.

    After each concert ice cream treats will be served in the Coffee Cafe.

    Please attend and bring a friend or two or more!

     

  • Bible Study & Outreach

    Bible Study                                   

    Wednesday night Bible studies are over until September. As always, there are Bible studies for all ages on Sunday mornings at 9:15am.  One of our many greeters can help you find a group to join or so can our friendly staff.  Some studies are topical, some are video driven and many are expositional.  While personal scripture reading is essential for us all, getting together with a small group can help you to connect with others and lead to life transformation.  Try one and find out.

    Outreach

    Have you given a card to someone recently to invite them to church?  Have you had a gospel conversation with someone recently?  In the foyer and

    welcome center are business cards that make inviting or sharing with others easy.  The QR code on the card will provide information on the church and

    service times.  Since our mission is to connect people to the unifying and life-transforming power of the gospel, these little cards that easily fit into your purse or wallet are an effective tool to easily help you do just that.  Pick some up and be intentional about helping people to connect to the gospel!

     

  • Senior Adults, Vol. 66, No. 7, July 2026

    I’m so glad to be serving with our senior adult group. If you are 55+ (or feel 55+) come along and join us for our activities. If you are already part of this great fellowship, bring a friend to our activities.

    Here are events for July:

    On July 1st, the bus will leave at 4pm for dinner at Rigazzi’s on the Hill then to  concert at Mo. Botanical Gardens. You will need to bring a lawn chair or blanket, bug spray and a drink if you want. The band is the US Air Force Band of Mid-America. Concert is from 7-9pm and it’s free. Check the café for sign up list and other info.

    July 29 we will meet at the church at 10am to pack school supplies into backpacks for our school supply/backpack giveaway on August 1. After we finish packing the backpacks on the 29th, we will go to lunch. I hope you will be part of the Free garage sale on our parking lot on August 1. It’s a great way to meet our community.

    I always look forward to VBS for our seniors. This year a friend of mine, Ron Zamkus, will lead a study of 1 John, ‘Authentic Fruitful Faith,’ August 10-13 from 9:30am -12 each day. It will be a great week to dive deep into God’s Word.

    On Wed. August 26 we plan to go to Casey IL to see all of the ‘Big Stuff’ around  town and eat lunch there. Watch for further news on this event.

    Psalm 119:15-16 I will meditate on your precepts and fix my eyes on your ways. I will delight in your statutes; I will not forget your Word.

     

  • A Word From Senior Pastor, Britton Carter, Vol. 66, No. 7, July 2026

    Delighting in God

    I love my wife. Even before we started dating, I realized I really enjoyed spending time with her. After our first few dates, I found myself on the car ride home looking forward to seeing her again. My heart overflowed with excitement and eager anticipation as we scheduled our next chance to be together. Thankfully, seven years later, I still have the privilege of spending time with her—and my love for her and my excitement to be around her has only grown.

    In other words, I delight in my relationship with my wife. I don’t always approach her with an agenda—a list of things I’d like to accomplish with our time together; I just enjoy being around her. The privilege of being her husband is one of the greatest joys of my life.

    Now, you might be wondering if I’m trying to work my way out of the doghouse with the last two paragraphs. You’re probably saying to yourself, “That was really sappy; I wonder what he did wrong.”

    Nothing, actually. I’m trying to make a point: God wants a similar relationship with you. He wants you to enjoy your walk with him. He wants you to delight in him.

    Does the above description match the way you think about God? Or does your “relationship” with him look more like a contractual arrangement? You fulfill your obligations (go to church, give generously, read your Bible, pray before meals), and God fulfills his (letting you into heaven when you die).

    Trust me—your relationship with God can be so much sweeter. What would it look like if we as a church delighted in being the people of God? What if we freely honored him with everything we said and did simply because we think he’s worth it? What if we truly believed the best plan for our lives is completely surrendering to God? What if we studied our Bibles because we enjoy thinking about God and look forward to knowing him better? What if we prayed—I mean, really, truly, earnestly sought the Lord through prayer?

    I don’t think we’d have to do too much advertising for Fee Fee. I’m confident our community will be able to tell the difference.

    Will you delight in the Lord with me?

    In Christ,

    Pastor Britton

  • Y.A. Collective, Vol. 66, No. 6, June 2026

    Young Adult Collective Summer Schedule

    This summer, the Young Adult Collective will be taking a break from our regular Wednesday night Bible study schedule as we shift our focus toward fellowship and community-building gatherings throughout the season.

    One of the greatest gifts God gives the church is life together. While studying Scripture is essential, meaningful friendships and shared experiences are also an important part of spiritual growth. Summer provides a great opportunity for us to slow down a bit, spend time together, and strengthen the relationships that help encourage and support us in our walk with Christ.

    Throughout the summer, we will be hosting:

    • One monthly Young Adult activity or fellowship event
    • One monthly Young Adult lunch after church on the last Sunday of each month

    These gatherings are designed to help young adults connect more deeply with one another, welcome new people into community, and continue building relationships within the life of the church.

    We’re excited for a summer filled with conversation, laughter, encouragement, and time together. Whether you’ve been part of the Young Adult Collective for years or are looking to get connected for the first time, we’d love for you to join us.

    For dates, details, and upcoming events, please check the church calendar on Church Center.

  • Family Front, Vol. 66, No. 6, June 2026

    We don’t have any kids’ events scheduled for June and that is intentional. June is so busy with outreach through our mission trip in Alaska, community for our youth with their week-long trip to Indiana, and transitional with all our families moving from school to summer schedules. June is also major preparation time for our upcoming VBS in July!

    Speaking of VBS, we will soon have supply and prayer lists out, so be looking for those. Additionally, we just made a change to our Thursday night plans for the conclusion of VBS- we will now be grilling hot dogs and handing out nachos & chips instead of requesting food trucks. If you are a  foodie and willing to help with concession-stand type food, that would be amazing. Come let me know! For VBS itself, I am still looking for several volunteers to be crew leaders. If you would love to get to know a small group of kids and participate in a fun and energy filled week, please come find me. I can guarantee that you won’t be upset that you did- you might be tired, you might seek solitude after, but you will receive such joy that those things won’t matter nearly as much as you might think!

    Church, please continue to pray in earnest for our kids, their families, our volunteers/staff, and our programming.
