Join us Friday mornings this summer to go make a difference! We gather in the church parking lot at 8:20 AM, and then

carpool to the camp to make beds for the incoming campers

that week. It only takes a couple hours. Questions? Call Jennifer Smith @ 465-0185, Amanda Julian @ 302-5217 or Jennifer Carroll @ (910) 303-3027.

HUMOR—It‟s a funny thing…

“According to a survey, 62% of Kentuckians pronounce their capital as „Loo-a-ville,‟ while 38% pronounce it „Loo-ee-ville.‟ The correct

pronunciation is Frankfort.”

“If your homing pigeon doesn't come back, what you've lost is a pigeon.”

HUMOR—It‟s a funny thing…

“To out of town visitors: If you buy something here in New York and want it shipped home, be

suspicious if the clerk tells you he doesn't need your name and address.”

"If you are arguing loudly on your phone in public, please put it on speaker. I need to hear both sides

of the story."

“I’ve told you all this so that trusting me, you will be unshakeable and assured,

deeply at peace. In this godless world you will continue to experience difficulties.

But take heart! I’ve conquered the world.” --John 16:33 (MSG)

CREATED IN CHRIST TO DO GOOD WORKS

If all there is to the Christian life is making it to heaven, then Jesus would send us there as soon as we receive His salvation. The fact that you and I are still here on

this earth tells us that we have a job to do… We have friends to reach, the hungry to feed, prayers to pray, Christians to encourage, the sick to care for, the imprisoned to visit, evil to confront, captives to set free, ministries to support, forgiveness to proclaim, hope to offer, love to demonstrate, and a mission to fulfill. You and I were designed for a destiny, produced for a purpose, and blessed in order that we might be a blessing to others. (“Fuel For The Journey”, Day 2, page 25)
