We are just a few weeks away from Vacation Bible School. It is such a time of excitement and energy for Jesus. Continue to pray for Janet and the volunteers as they prepare to Share Jesus’s Light with the 250+ children that will be in attendance. Make sure you save the date for the free picnic on July 16th after the service. Hot dogs and hamburgers will be served. This is a great opportunity to meet new people from our community and celebrate all the ways God SHINES in the hearts of our children. If you would be available to help setup for this event on Friday, July 14th 9-10:30 AM please reach out to Joyce or Jennifer in the church office.
This week the Bunce family is making final preparations for their move from Kansas to Friendswood. Please keep them in your prayers as they pack and travel, following God’s will and direction in their lives. We are excited to welcome them here; be watching for more information on ways we can help make them feel at home.
Eddie Rollins is 95 years young and we look forward to celebrating her. On July 19 there will be a party hosted for her in the coffee café from 2:00-4:00 pm. Eddie has requested that donations be made to the shower ministry to the homeless instead of gifts. Needs for the shower ministry include men’s underclothes, men’s pants, travel-size toiletries, and wipes; financial gifts toward the shower ministry are also welcome (checks should be made out to the church with shower ministry in the memo).
Also on July 19, women are invited to a second Women’s Summer Night Conference. Join us as we worship together from 6:00 pm to 8:30 pm in the coffee café. A catered meal will be provided. An RSVP for this event will begin next week or contact the church office for more details.
Save the date! On Sunday, July 30th we will be celebrating Janet Black as she retires from her role as director of children’s ministries. Please join us immediately after the worship service to help thank Janet for the many ways that she has blessed our children and our entire congregation during her 21 years of ministry here.
But Jesus was faithful over God’s house as a Son. We are his house if we hold on to the confidence and the pride that our hope gives us. -Hebrews 3:6 CEB
