    VBS/Sports Camp 2022 Recap

    Another year of VBS/Sports Camp has come to an end! Thank you for praying for God to speak to the children and keep our leadership energized. Thank you for people that helped decorate, take down, serve where needed, act as ‘gofer’, and many other duties. It takes many hands for a successful week to happen! A BIG THANKS TO ALL WHO VOLUNTEERED! God’s promises are reliable. I asked you to think on this verse: “Come and see what our God has done, what awesome miracles he performs for people!” (Psalm 66:5). God is good to see us through another big, fun week for the kids and families of our community.

    Family Swim Night

    Cool off with your family on Friday night, August 5, from 6:00 to 8:00 p.m. at the Bridgeton Pool.

    Free Market

    Our annual Free Market will be the next morning, Saturday, August 6 at 9:00 a.m. on our parking lot. Bring your stuff to give away to the community. Tables will be provided by the church. Sign up now in the Connection Center! You must be present that day to give away items. No drop-offs will be accepted.

    School Supplies for Free Market

    Once again we will be giving out new backpacks loaded with school supplies to the kids in our community, so we are taking donations to make this happen. NEW school supplies and backpacks can be donated in the appropriate box across from the Connection Center. We will be blessing the first 100 kids to come to Free Market with backpacks full of school supplies to start the year off fresh!

    Promotion Sunday

    August 21 is Promotion Sunday for the new church year for pre-K, children, and youth. That morning parents of preschool and K-5 kids are invited to their children’s rooms for donuts. As we amp up for this new year, we are looking for a few good teachers to help our children learn more about the Bible and God’s plan for them.  If you are looking for the place to serve, talk to Kathy!

    Serving Opportunity

    Part of being a Christian is serving. In addition to VBS, we have needs in the Children’s Ministry on a regular basis for people to plug in and use their gifts to serve. While we have many wonderful people already serving in this ministry, it takes many hands all areas to run smoothly.  Please see me if you believe God can use you to serve in our Children’s Ministry. Talk to Andrew if you would like to serve in other areas of the church. Choose this year to actively serve your church!
