VBS

     Our Vacation Bible School this week was, in the words of Austin Spicer, “awesome”.  We had 53 children, 5th grade and under, every day: and 44 of these young people had perfect attendance.  That was a blessing.  I want to thank all of the adults that taught, the adults that helped serve each day, and the teens that helped in classes and led the children around.  We had over 80 people involved in VBS each day.  I also want to congratulate Abbey Farris and Jake Hall for bringing the most visitors to VBS.

Summer Youth Series

     Calvert City’s Summer Youth Series is this Tuesday night.  There are several things that we need to have an excellent Youth Series:

1.  Prayer-Please be praying for the SYS.  There will be many here that will hear a gospel sermon.  Pray for their safety in travel, and for receptive hearts to God’s word.  Also pray for our speaker David Shannon who will be driving in from Mt. Juliet, TN.  Pray for his travel and his message.

2.  Attendance-I would like every member of the Lord’s church in Calvert City to be present and to bring a visitor.  The largest crowd in the building here at Calvert was at the SYS in 1999.  We had 474.  I would love to have over 500 for our youth series.  This can happen if you will come and bring a friend.

3.       Food-Each year we serve home-made ice cream and cookies.  We need anyone who can to sign-up to bring ice cream, cookies and 2 liter soft drinks. The list is in the lobby.

     I have great expectations for our SYS.  If you come I believe that you will be blessed by enthusiastic and powerful singing, an encouraging and convicting message from God’s word, and beautiful Christian fellowship.

     I look forward to seeing you there.

  In Him,
