VBS Thank You
Thanks to all the volunteers who helped make Deep Sea Discovery VBS a success. Because you were willing to give of your time and resources, children had the opportunity to dive into God’s Word and experience God’s presence in their lives. We had so much fun as we explored stories from the Bible that remind us that God is with us and will watch over us wherever we go! (Genesis 28:15). We capped off our excellent adventure by packing over 10,000 meals with Rise Against Hunger. Check out all the fun we had throughout the week! View the VBS 2023 Photo Album here!

Kids' Choice Connection Groups Resume This Sunday
Join us this summer in kids' connection groups as we shake things up a bit! Kids (incoming 1st-6th grades) will have the opportunity to choose their class. Connection groups will be based on activity not age. There will be options like Legos, gaga ball, science, board games, cooking, crafts, and a whole lot of fun with space to experience and grow with God. Pre-k and kindergarteners will join in on the fun in their own classroom!
Adults and youth, we need your help! Have a special skill you’d be willing to share with our kids? We would love to have you host a class! Willing to help out and get to know some awesome kids? We need you! We offer the summer off to our AWESOME connection group leaders so they have a chance to recharge. If you are willing to help lead a session or be an assistant, click here.

Worship Focus Sunday, July 9
Reading Scripture Slowly
Colossians 3:12-17
Has the digital convenience of having information at our fingertips changed the way we approach scripture? How often do we engage scripture as hunters and gatherers, flipping quickly through the pages, on the prowl for whatever word we need at the moment. How often do we look for easy answers to life’s hard questions, or self-help tidbits? What would an analog approach to scripture look like?
Worship Online via Livestream or Facebook. (Worship guides and attendance links available)
