Summer Camp Meetings!

What a great start to our camp meetings we had last week!  We'll continue to worship in that relaxed, informal, enthusiastic way throughout the month of July.  But every week will be special, so you don't want to miss any of them!

I'll be talking about "The Basics of Grace" for the next three weeks.  God's grace always meets us where we are.  Our Christian development has some major steps along the way.  This weekend we'll be talking about how God's grace begins its work in our lives.  The message title is "Just by Trust."  I'll explain that more this weekend! 

This will be the last week for the Slider family.  Many of you know Dale Slider as the Lay Leader of our congregation.  Susan Slider has been the moving force behind the Connection Café and the catering done at church.  So, in honor of their ministry, we are going to have a Farewell Dinner this Saturday evening at 7:00 p.m. and we aren't even going to have Susan cook!  (Ron Cilek has been nice enough to volunteer for the cooking.)  So if you would like to celebrate the Slider's ministry with us and say "good-bye," come this Saturday evening to Woodmen at 7:00 p.m.

And I'll see you in worship this weekend!

Blessings,

Marv Vose
