🤣 These boys drew Pastor John Erie Jr. Sunday during church. I heard a rumor that they might make a whole scene of his movements on stage..

Every spring, a temporary insanity sweeps across the country. Normal people—with zero agricultural background—suddenly get a burst of ridiculous optimism and decide: I am going to be a gardener. 🧑‍🌾👇

You buy the fancy gloves, the organic heirloom tomato seeds, and the cute wooden stakes that say "Grow." You dig a hole, drop the seeds in, and wait.

And... nothing. Why? Because you planted your fourteen-dollar tomatoes right next to the foundation of the old shed where the dirt is entirely clay, rocks, and toxic chemical runoff.

This weekend, Pastor John Erie kicked off our new series, Genuine Faith, with a heavy reality check derived from Genuine Faith Week 1: Planted in Faith.pdf:
💥 "You have to pull up the poison to plant the promise." 💥
God has incredible things He wants to grow in your life—promises of peace, joy, purpose, and freedom. But He will not plant them in toxic soil.

So many of us are white-knuckling our way through the week wondering why we feel spiritually dead, all while holding a bottle of poison. We let unchecked anger, secret habits, bitterness, or late-night doom-scrolling act like spiritual bleach poured directly into our souls.

It’s time to stop trying to clean up your dirt in isolation. Let’s get honest, bring our messes into the light of community, and let the Holy Spirit rewire us from the inside out.

Tuesday afternoon, our teens and sponsors returned home from an incredible time at Camp Table Rock, and what an unforgettable experience it was!

Throughout the week, we dove deep into what the Bible says about the influence of media in our lives. We learned how both the messages we see and hear—consciously and subconsciously—can shape the way we think. Most importantly, we were reminded that our identity comes from God alone and not from the world or media around us.

We had powerful discussions about how movies, music, and social media can sometimes pull us away from God’s truth, and how to stay grounded in who He says we are.

And of course, it wasn’t all serious... We had an absolute blast too! From lake time and chapel, to games, music, and building new friendships, it was a week full of joy, laughter, and memories that will last a lifetime.

This year’s late night theme was Senior Citizens 🤣Yes, it was as hilarious as it sounds!

It was also extra special getting to spend time with one of our teens who is serving there this summer as a camp counselor. Seeing him thrive in that role was such a blessing.

We are so thankful for this time of growth, fun, and connection. God is moving in the lives of these
