Camp meetings!

Our Camp Meeting worship services begin this weekend.  We have not done these summer favorites for some time, but I know you will enjoy them!  They will be relaxed, informal, powerful and filled with great music!  The services have their origin in the American frontier, so the style and order of service will be a little different.  But you are going to love it!

40 Days of Mission

40 Days of Mission is just around the corner.  We'll start on July 19th by working with the Marion House Soup Kitchen to provide a picnic and a barbeque for the working poor and homeless in our community.

What a great kick-off for our 40 Days of Mission!  Jesus specifically invites us to feed the hungry and thirsty, clothe the needy, and visit those who are sick and in prison.  When we do that, we do it for Jesus!  Most of us never have an opportunity to personally provide for those who really struggle with the basics of life.  July 19th is that opportunity!  We'll do it specifically for Jesus. 

Just one word of caution:  please do not expect to be thanked for your service.  Please do not expect any expressions of gratitude.  I know that is pretty ingrained in all of us, but that will probably not happen at this event.  There are too many issues of power and self-esteem involved for gratitude to be shared.  But God will definitely take note of this!

Thanks in advance for all of your help.  Please sign-up at worship this week-end or pick up one of the cards that tells how you can help.  There is a great variety of tasks required to make this a success.  And please join me in praying for this will be for God's glory.

See you in worship this weekend!

Blessings,


Marv Vose
