Education

The Wednesday Bible study group, which meets at 6:30 pm., has begun a new study titled, Coffee with the Savior. The study is inspired by Jeremiah 29:12–13: “Then you will call upon me and come and pray to me, and I will hear you. You will seek me and find me, when you seek me with all your heart.”

Topics include God’s desire that we come to Him, that we pray to Him, and that we receive His gifts. The concluding chapter encourages everyone to continue their commitment through dedicated personal study of God’s Word and recognizing their value in the Body of Christ. Sound interesting?

Come join in, everyone is welcome.

Rally Day, the day the Sunday School children celebrate the beginning of a new Sunday school year.  Some will change rooms, while others might stay in the same room one more year, but all will have new “classmates”.  It’s a fun day, an exciting day.
 
There are big plans for this year.  It’s a Rally Day Round-up with a Chuck Wagon Lunch.  We want everyone to take part in this year’s event.  It’s promising to be a rootin’-tootin’ cowboy/girl good time.  So kids, parents, and all you Good Shepherd cowpokes, dress in your western attire and join the fun.

Lunch will be served after the second service chuck wagon style with chili and ham/beans.  Just rustle up a side dish or a dessert, bring it with you and join us for some cowpoke grub. 

After lunch is when the real fun begins.  There will be horse and buggy rides, train rides, an inflatable bounce room, a snow-cone vendor, and games.  Of course it wouldn’t be Rally Day without the always exciting, and beautiful balloon launch. 

So, pardners, corral your youngins’, and mosey on down to the fellowship hall for the Rally Day Round-up and Chuck Wagon lunch.

We finished our study of 2 Peter today. Next week we will start on the Gospel of Mathew. This would be a great time to join us.

The topic of getting more involvement in bible studies was brought up.  Please feel free to come and share any thoughts or ideas you may have.

Kids will feel the sea spray on their face as sails snap overhead. They’ll experience the deep rolling waters of God’s love. It’s easily the best time they will have all summer. Don’t miss the ship—register now to be a part of this High Seas Expedition VBS! VBS is set for July 11-16^th.  We will be doing registrations on July 11^th from 6:30-8:00.  Refreshments will be served and the kids will get assigned into their “crews”.  VBS will be held from 5:30-8:00pm Monday-Friday with a light dinner from 5:30-6:00.  We already have the t-shirts so please let us know as soon as possible if your child is attending so we are sure to have the enough shirts for everyone. Any questions please contact Nicole B. or Shelly W.
