Mark your calendars for the 2009 VBS experience at FCC July 27th – 31st.  This year’s program is entitled  CAMP E.D.G.E – EXPERIENCE + DISCOVER GOD EVERYWHERE.

As you know, VBS involves a large number of volunteers.  We ask you to prayerfully consider how you can/will join in on this year’s camping adventure.  Click HERE for a volunteer sign-up sheet.  Simply print it off, fill it out and return it to the church office, or contact Stacie Dougherty (367-1622), Debra Mikkelson (367-4286) or Vickie Jones (785-988-4214).

Your prayers, hands and hearts will help make VBS a success for our kids.

A Sunday School teacher decided to have her young class memorize one of the most quoted passages in the Bible – Psalm 23.   She gave the youngsters a month to learn the chapter.

Little Ricky was excited about the task – but he just couldn’t remember the Psalm.   After much practice, he could barely get past the first line.

On the day that the kids were scheduled to recite Psalm 23 in front of the congregation, Ricky was so nervous… When it was his turn, he stepped up to the microphone and said proudly, ‘The Lord is my Shepherd, and that’s all I need to know.’

Please pray for our young men and women in the Military:  Jesse McGlade, Anton Mak, Ryan Callahan, Mike Quick, James Petrik, Sean McCaffery, Nick Davison, Joshua Lambert, Fletcher Hiner, Nicholas Cline, Curtis Ellis, Brian Krusemark, Alex Shrout and Doug Dickson.
