Over 50 kids attended VBS this week! Praise the Lord!!

A thank you goes out to our helpers! It takes a village!
A HUGE thank you goes out to Ruth Hines!!! Without her, this important outreach of our congregation would not be as successful as it is!

Don't forget the VBS program is Friday night at 6. Following the service, there will be Ice Cream Sundaes and treats! All are welcome to come hear what our kids learned this week!

Also, there will be NO Sunday Services this weekend.

Almighty God, You have given us this good land as our heritage. Grant that we remember Your generosity and constantly do Your will. Bless our land with honest industry, truthful education, and an honorable way of life. Save us from violence, discord, and confusion, from pride and arrogance, and from every evil course of action. Grant that we, who came from many nations with many different languages, may become a united people. Support us in defending our liberties, and give those to whom we have entrusted the authority of government the spirit of wisdom, that there may be justice and peace in our land. When times are prosperous, may our hearts be thankful, and in troubled times do not let our trust in You fail; through Jesus Christ, our Lord. Amen.

This coming Sunday we will be celebrating Rogation Sunday.
What is Rogation Sunday?
The word comes from the Latin word which means "to ask". We ask for a lot of things from God, but on this day, we gather to honor God for the gift of creation and to pray for the land, the gift of labor, and the needs of all people.
We learn from the Holy Scripture that in the beginning God created the heavens and the earth and caused the sun to shine and the rain to fall, the plants to grow and the earth to give forth its increase. God is the giver of life in the seed, in the soil, and on the sowers.
So this Sunday we'll gather to ask God's blessing on the seed that has been or will be planted, the soil that has been cultivated, and the farmers who labor to the service of God and for the good of all humanity.
A special invite goes out to the farmers and gardeners of our parish to attend. We hope to see you all there!
