For a day in your courts is better than a thousand elsewhere. I would rather be a doorkeeper in

the house of my God than dwell in the tents of wickedness.

theme, was “Journey off The Map”. Carolyn Oglesby served as the vacation bible school

director. Shiloh Baptist Church New Site collaborated with Mt. Zion Baptist Church,

Fredericksburg, Virginia for this year’s vacation bible school. Mt. Zion Baptist Church, Pastor

Carl Butler attended vacation bible school with his members in addition to serving as an

instructor for one of the classes. There was over one hundred students that attended each

night. The youth classes were compiled of their lesson, crafts, music and recreation. All

offerings that were collected during vacation bible school were donated for a mission in

Jamaica in which local children there will have the opportunity to experience their very own

vacation bible school. Supplies were also collected for the children. On Friday, June 26,

2015 there was a closing ceremony for vacation bible school that consisted of a balloon

release. This year’s vacation bible school was truly a blessing.

We have found that many Branches of Zion, throughout the nation, show significant

reductions in their congregations. We here at Shiloh have also experienced such

reductions. The reasons for these reductions may be attributed to numerous causes. As a

result of the decreases and in an attempt to bring our fellowship closer together, we are

going to pause and consider the possibility of combining our present Sunday services into

one.

In order to see if this action will bring us closer together as a family, we will begin a

three- month trial period of combined services starting the second Sunday in July of

2015. We will combine the 8 A.M. and the 11 A.M. worship services into one service,

which will begin at 10 A.M. Sunday school devotions will start at 8:15 am and Sunday

school classes will begin at 8:30 am.

It is our desire to see how God, through the Holy Spirit, moves and conceivably allows us

to come closer together as a stronger body of Baptist believers in worship. The worship

experience that has been shown in the first Sunday Communion and Baptismal fellowship

reveals that we celebrate spiritually higher when we come together as one body.

We trust that we will all be in prayer to see where the Lord leads us. Let us come together

and worship the Lord in Spirit and truth.
