VBS, Giving Envelopes (Pastoral Emphasis from 6/1)

Men, the Men's Conference is less than 2 weeks away. Don't forget to register for this great time.
Our 2008 Vacation Bible School is June 16th - June 20th. Followed by a tailgate party on that Saturday, June 21st. VBS is a great time for the whole family to come out and fellowship and have fun learning. Register right after church service at the Welcome Center.

Next Sunday is Children's Day. Our children and youth will be taking over the service. Saturday will be a full day of activities and rehearsals for the children. Please come out and support our children on next weekend.

Now for a little bit of housekeeping...last week, our financial secretary, Min. Amekuedi, gave us some do's and don'ts when filling out our giving envelopes. Here are some additional things:
  • Members are listing tithing envelope numbers that are not theirs. If you don't know your envelope number, just leave it blank and make sure you write your name legibly.
  • Don't list an amount in Special Events when there's not a special event going on
  • Amounts are overwritten several times in bold. If a mistake is made, cross it out and write it legibly to the side on that same line.
  • The envelope number line is not the total line. Place the total amount that you are given next to TOTAL.
  • It's okay if you don't have anything to give during the offering. Don't write notes on the envelopes that say "IOU" and "Check will be given later".

Responding to the Flooding, Christmas in July Food Drive, New Sermon Series (Pastoral Emphasis for 7/13)

Responding to the Flooding All of us are painfully aware of the devastating flooding that struck our nation recently. As of Friday evening, the confirmed death toll in Texas has risen to 129, with at least 150 individuals still missing across the state. Our hearts are heavy, and we grieve for the lives lost and the families enduring unimaginable pain. One of the first things people tend to do is look for someone to blame. Was it the fault of the warning system not being early enough? Was it the fault of the government (state and federal)? Was it the fault of God? If God is so good, why do we suffer with natural disasters like flooding that takes the lives of seemingly innocent people like young children? The reality is that the fault lies with us. Humanity decided to rebel against the Creator God, thereby, ushering in sin and the fall from God's perfect creation. Natural disasters happen because we live in a fallen world ravaged by sin. Natural disasters like these floods are trag...
