Church News – June 14th

posted in: Church News | 0

What a time we had last week as we held Vacation Bible School for children in our community (we also had children attend from as far away as Overland Park, Ks). “In the Wild” was the theme as the children learned about the life, death, and resurrection of our Savior Jesus Christ. Songs and crafts centered around the theme. Children also enjoyed recreation and delicious snacks. A meal was served nightly at 5:30. The week culminated on Sunday morning with the children giving a musical presentation of what they had learned to family and friends. A great time was had by all. We are thankful for each child and family represented and look forward to VBS next year.

We celebrate several birthdays this week. Lori Abney and Lisa Baker (sisters) on June 12, and Ryan Mantonya on June 14. Happy birthday to all three. Congratulations to Mary and Terry Barrow on another wedding anniversary on June 9.

Please continue to remember Jim and Shirley Bilbruck who are slowly improving. Added to our prayer list are Joann Vandestowe, Harold Kingsland, Edwin Pogue and Ryan Mantonya. How blessed we are to lift these up in prayer.

This Sunday, June 16th is Father’s Day. We wish all fathers a happy, peaceful, relaxing day. We thank the Lord for giving us fathers.

Sunday evenings Celebrate Recovery begins at 5:30 pm with supper. At 6:30 pm large group worship starts and then at 7:30 pm small groups meet. Last week’s lesson was CONFESS. C – confess your shortcommings, resentments, and sins; O – obey God’s directions; N – no more guilt; F – face the truth; E – ease the pain; S – stop the blame; S – start accepting God’s forgiveness. There’s a place for you at CR.

We invite you to worship with us at Calhoun Baptist Church where we are living, sharing, and telling the story of Christ. Our Sunday School starts at 10:00 am where there is a class for everyone. Then join us for worship at 11:00 am.
