Kid’s Club

Introducing our newest ministry…Kid’s Club. Kid’s Club is a fun place for children to learn about God.

Kid’s club takes place on Tuesday night while our Adult Bible Discussion class meets. We are continuing to explore the themes we briefly touched on during vacation bible school.

Right now, we are focusing on the theme of Love…God’s Love and how God loves us. Each week, the children listen to a brief story, expand on the story with a craft to remind them of the story and the receive a memory verse to memorize.

What does the Holy Spirit Of God Do in Your Life?

For the last several weeks, Pastor Rosenberg has been preaching about what the Holy Spirit does in our lives. If you would like to listen to the sermons, please click on the picture which will take you to our SoundCloud Page. Below is an outline of seven of things that the Holy Spirit does in our lives.

 

 

1. The Holy Spirit is God’s magnifying mirror inside of you to show you to yourself, through conviction of sin. (John 16:8-9)

2. The Holy Spirit performs a radical make-over of your character and personality, so we will be like Christ. (Galatians 5:22)

3. The Holy Spirit reveals the permanent location of where we live now…heaven. (Ephesians 2:4-6)

4. The Holy Spirit reveals your identities and enables you to be who you are. Our new identities include but not limited to:

a. ADOPTED by God the Father (Romans 8:14-17)

b. AMBASSADOR for Christ (2 Corinthians 5:20)

5. The Holy Spirit controls your mind. He becomes a “firewall” to keep the devil from hacking in and stealing God words. He is like a filter that protects our minds from being messed up the devil. (Romans 8:6-9)

6. The Holy Spirit is our Guide to guide us to our individual appointed destinations. One common destination we all have as adopted children of God is the land of freedom from the prison of our bad memories. (Luke 4:14-19)

7. The Holy Spirit infuses supernatural power into our lives for specific purposes.            (Acts 1:6-8)

a. Power for constant prayer

b. Power for passionate proclamation of Christ

SoundCloud Ministry Update

On March 3, 2013, we launched our Soundcloud ministry. This ministry allows Pastor’s sermons to be around the world on the world wide web. The message becomes available immediately on Sunday thanks to the technical expertise of Mark Ragan and Ira Barker. So far, 133 people have listened. We don’t know how many people have actually accepted Christ from these sermons. But we have had people from the Netherlands and Argentina listen.

Honor thy Father and Mother

It is no surprise that there is a special day in which we honor our Mothers and Fathers, but as Christians we are commanded by God to honor thy Father and Mother. Well as a church we did just that in the month of May and June.

For Mother’s, we had a Mother’s Day Banquet in May. The men of the church had the pleasure of serving the women of the church. Ed Maxwell gave a wonderful concert and each woman in attendance received a rose.

 

For Father’s, we had a BBQ. Every father in attendance received a special gift that reminds them to be the Man that God created them to be Everyone had a blast at these events and we had great turn outs. We had about 25 people for both events.

Independence Day Celebration

On July 3, we hosted our biggest outreach event of the year, our Annual Independence Day Celebration. Each year we have a church wide BBQ complete with fireworks. Our BBQ consists of 1/2 lb All-beef Hamburger Patties, 1/2 lb All-beef Foot-long hot dogs, regular hot dogs and 2lb Baked Potatoes. Our fireworks display took place at dusk and lasted about 15 minutes. We had about 125 people in attendance.

This event was also used as a kick-off to our Vacation Bible School. We gave parents the opportunity to pre-register their children for Vacation Bible School.

Colossal Coaster World Recap

 

Our exciting week of Vacation Bible School has come and gone. It was a fantastic week.

We had an average of 7 kids each night. One night we had as many as 9 kids.

 

We had an adult vacation bible school as well. Our adult attendance varied from night to night. One night we had 11 adults in attendance.

The kids had a blast. They enjoyed everything moment of Vacation Bible School. The motto for the week was “Facing Fears,Trusting God”. The scripture verse of the week was 2 Timothy 1:7, “For God has not given us a spirit of fearfulness, but one of power, love and sound judgment.”

The adults study the book of 2 Timothy in a discussion type format. They enjoyed their discussion so much that that decided to continue this discussion type format. So a new Bible Study class has now meeting on Tuesday Nights at 7pm.

We are also continuing the fun of vacation bible school for children in a new children's ministry known as Kid’s Club. Kid’s club takes place on Tuesday night during the Adult Bible Study class. Kid’s Club is a fun place for children to learn about God. In August, when school starts Kid’s Club will be a place for children to learn about God and get help with their homework.
