| Wrapping Up Some Loose Ends |
Summer has arrived and with it some really hot and humid days. As you are enjoying the lazy days of summer and your vacations, time on the golf course or the water, I want to wrap up some loose ends in order to make certain that we don’t miss out on anything happening in and around the church. Vacation Bible School has recently concluded. What a great time everybody had as children and adults gathered for immersion in the Word of God. Beginning with great food, fellowship, and song, we then had opportunity to spend time learning about God’s love for His people and how we might better respond to that love and share it with others. It was a wonderful week and I want to thank everyone who worked to make it another successful Vacation Bible School. THANKS! |
