Vacation Bible School is one of the highlights of our summer, and it takes many hands working together to create an amazing experience for our children and families. We'd love for you to join us for our VBS Work Day on Saturday, June 13 from 8:00 AM to 12:30 PM!

There will be fun tasks for all ages and abilities, whether you enjoy decorating, organizing, assembling materials, moving supplies, or helping behind the scenes. No special skills are required, just a willing heart and a desire to serve.

This is a wonderful opportunity to connect with others, share some laughs, and help prepare our church for a week that will impact children with the love of Jesus. Every helping hand makes a difference!

Bring a friend, bring your family, and come be part of what God is doing through VBS at EWC. We can't wait to serve alongside you!

Peace does not happen by accident. It is built through intentional acts of grace, understanding, humility, and love.

In a world often marked by division, conflict, and competing voices, Jesus calls His followers to be peacemakers. Not merely peacekeepers who avoid difficult conversations, but peacemakers who actively pursue reconciliation, extend forgiveness, and reflect the character of God in their relationships.

Being a peacemaker can be challenging. It may require listening when it is easier to speak, forgiving when it feels undeserved, or choosing unity when division seems more comfortable. Yet Jesus reminds us that those who pursue peace carry a special reflection of their Heavenly Father.

The call to peacemaking begins in our own hearts. When we allow God's peace to transform us, we become instruments of that same peace in our homes, workplaces, churches, and communities.

Today, consider where God may be inviting you to bring peace. A kind word, a listening ear, an apology, a prayer, or an act of grace may be the very thing that helps heal a broken relationship.

How can you be a peacemaker in someone's life this week?

In a world filled with distractions, noise, and competing priorities, maintaining a pure heart is not always easy. Purity of heart is not about perfection. It is about sincerity. It is choosing to seek God with genuine faith, honest intentions, and a desire to reflect His love in our thoughts, words, and actions.

When our hearts are focused on God rather than the approval of others, our perspective begins to change. We start to recognize His presence in everyday moments, His guidance in difficult seasons, and His faithfulness through every circumstance.

Today, take a moment to examine your heart. Let go of bitterness, pride, and distraction. Draw near to God with humility and trust, knowing that those who seek Him wholeheartedly will find Him.

Mercy is one of the clearest reflections of God's character. It is choosing compassion when judgment feels easier. It is extending grace when someone falls short. It is forgiving when holding on to resentment seems justified.

Every day, we are given opportunities to show mercy through our words, our actions, and our attitudes. A patient response, a forgiving heart, a willingness to understand rather than condemn can have a lasting impact on those around us.

Jesus reminds us that mercy is not weakness. It is strength guided by love. As recipients of God's endless mercy, we are called to share that same mercy with others.

Today, look for opportunities to extend grace, offer forgiveness, and show kindness. In doing so, you reflect the heart of Christ to a world that desperately needs it.
