VBS 2023 will be June 19-23. This year’s Vacation Bible School is called Twists and Turns: following Jesus Changes the Game. We will be asking God to show us His ways and His paths (Psalm 25:4) as we navigate our own game of life. VBS will be from 9 a.m.-12:15 p.m. daily.
Begin praying now about kids you can invite to be a part of this life-changing week. VBS is for kids who have completed K-5th grade. Online kid registration and adult and teen worker sign-up will begin May 7. Please go to table either in the Gathering space or near the library to get answers to your questions and to pick up invitations and prayer reminders.

Tuesday Evening Men’s Study
7:00 – 8:00 PM BY ZOOM
Our time together begins with fellowship and prayer. Usually, we have a Scripture to read or review from our study book. Then we study by discussing the questions from our lesson.
During the discussion, the men are free to raise situations or issues that they are facing. Our goal is to go beyond knowledge and understanding to gain wisdom. We do that by thinking of ways to apply God’s truth to our lives. We have 3 rules: 1) We try to be prepared to answer the questions. 2) We don’t give advice but offer counsel. 3) Everything is to be held confidential. We always close with prayer requests and prayer.
We are very informal and enjoy getting to know each other. Many of our men are older, mature Christians, and all of us wish to be all that Christ would have us to be.
This is a great time to join in! We are currently studying, James: The Relationship Between Faith and Works by David Jeremiah.
