Vacation Bible School

     Vacation Bible School will begin next Monday morning at 9:00 a.m.  This will go through Thursday.  This is our first four-day morning VBS since I have been here and I am very excited.  I am thankful to all of the teachers who have volunteered to teach each morning.  Please use this weekend to come and work on your rooms and your classes and be prepared for next week.  We will need adult volunteers to help serve refreshments each day and there be a cookout for lunch Thursday.  Please be making plans to be here and take the time to invite other  young  people.

Horizons

  Last week I was gone to Horizons at Freed-Hardeman University.  Horizons is a (Future Church Leaders Workshop) week-long training camp for young people from 6th grade to Seniors in high school.  There are two weeks (one high school and one middle school) of Horizons.  There are specific ministry classes for both boys and girls.  I truly enjoy Horizons.  Last week Drew Cordle and Devin Hall attended– and this week Andy Harrington and  Alex Appleton.  I am proud of each of these young men and pray that more of our young people will take advantage of Horizons next year.  In Him, Craig
