Sunday is Father’s Day! We are going to celebrate Dadhood! We will have a special message for the day, A Tale of Two Sons. We also will have gifts for all the fathers, so bring your dad!

If you or anyone you know is going in for surgery or to the hospital for any reason, please let me know. I would greatly desire to come and pray for anyone in the church who finds themselves at the hospital. This is a part of my ministry to you, and I don’t want anyone to hesitate to call me day or night.

Attendance and giving normally go down significantly during the summer. Soon, we will try to remedy one of those issues! We will be introducing online giving, which I believe will be accessible both through our Facebook page and web site.
Those in the older generations may not understand the need of this, but the younger generation expects and responds to online access for everything. We’ll keep you posted on the progress of this new addition.
For all of us, this will make giving a lot easier on those weeks when we are away.

On July 18, Wednesday evening at 7:00, we are going to host a JV Virtual Prayer meeting. More on that later!

We already having people signing up for our August 18 carnival, some coming up with creative ideas outside of what we have already said we want to do. Please make yourself available to volunteer. This is an exciting all-church opportunity to do something significant for the kingdom of God together.
We will host ministry booths, games, concessions, and offer free parking for the Old Fort VW Car Show and Swap Meet across the street.
We will need volunteers for set-up/take-down, concessions, games, and other miscellaneous. We could even use crossing guards to shepherd people between the two events. This is a magnificent outreach opportunity dropped right into our lap.
Let’s go forward with great energy and expectation!
Sign-up in the church lobby on Sunday morning!

We will be holding a 24-hour prayer vigil in anticipation of the carnival. The prayer will be from midnight to midnight, August 3-4 (Friday night through Saturday night). We will have sign-ups for hourly prayer slots. We will be looking for some hardcore, middle-of-the-night praying people!

Keep praying about a leader for our youth group. I have a few leads I’m chasing down, but we need to find the one God has ordained for this most vital ministry.
