WEEK OF JUNE 16 2010

Greetings

Wersquove just finished Vacation Bible School and it was incredible We were

so blessed to have several children trust Christ as their Savior and Lord

Thatrsquos what itrsquos all about The games were fun the music was energetic and the food

delicious but most importantly lives were changed

This Wednesday June 16 we began a new study Crazy Love will take us from our

ldquoAmericanized Christianityrdquo to a new and fresh understanding of our God This study will

inspire us to delight in Him and find the passion for godliness we had when we were born in

the faith Itrsquos not too late to join us Wednesday evenings at 6 PM in the Fellowship Hall

Herersquos a heads uphellip

We will be removing a pew from the back row of the sanctuary to make it wheelchair

accessible This suggestion was made by a faithful member who is looking out for the needs

of our church family Itrsquos a great idea ldquoThanksrdquo in advance for your wonderful and willing

spirit to accommodate this need

As I am writing to you we have a group of adults in Asheville NC on mission We have two

students Natalie White and Joseph Eubanks on mission in Nicaragua and another student

Jessica Stancil training in Columbia SC for her summer missions opportunity Next week

Ricky will take our students to Asheville as well for a mission endeavor Letrsquos pray daily for

the physical mental emotional and spiritual well-being of these individuals as they share

the love of God with others

I hope to see you worshipping with us very soon The Lord is really challenging us through

His Word I love you

God Bless
