As you register for school, shop for supplies and clothes and begin to plan your fall schedules, don't forget to include church in your plans! On Sunday, August 19th in the 9:15 service, we will have a Backpack and Teacher Blessing to prepare us for the start of another school year. Children are welcome to bring their backpacks and any type of teacher (preschool, elementary, middle, high school, college, sunday school) will also receive a blessing. Just like that brand new, smooth, clean notebook, the upcoming year lies open before us and it is comforting to know that God is with us every step of the way, whether or not you are here for the blessing by Pastor Jacob.
Following the Backpack Blessing we will proceed upstairs to Wesley Hall to celebrate our Sunday School kickoff. All Sunday School teachers are encouraged to join us so that the kids can familiarize themselves with your faces (and you with theirs!). If you still have not committed to teaching on a rotating basis, please let Lani or Rebecca know that they can add you to the rotation.
Also consider Children's Choir for your K-5th grader. Rehearsals begin on Wednesday, September 5th. K-2nd grade from 5:45-6:30 and 3rd-5th from 6:30-7:30. The following week, Wednesday Night Alive begins and there will be activities for the children during the time that they are not in choir.
We pray that you have had a safe, relaxing and restful summer of fun and new experiences and we look forward to seeing you all on August 19th, if not before!

Rocky Point Lighthouse VBS
June 18th-21st we experienced Rocky Point Lighthouse VBS where we learned how to SHINE GOD'S LIGHT!! Our kickoff on Monday was at Forest Park where we enjoyed a meal together and played some fun games (parents vs. kids kickball was a favorite)! Tuesday and Wednesday we sang songs, heard Bible stories, played games and made our own lighthouses to remind us of our verse: "The Lord lights up my darkness." 2 Samuel 22: 29. Our closing on Thursday included a meal, a slideshow wrapping up the week, and practice for singing on Sunday.
We tried family VBS this year, so we had parents, grandparents, aunts, uncles, cousins, and of course, brothers and sisters, all together. Many kids said one of the best parts of VBS this year was being with their families!
Check out some of the great photos taken by our photography team!
