What an incredible week/weekend at our Men’s Camping Trip!

This trip was a reminder that sometimes the best place to hear from God is away from the noise and distractions of everyday life. We are so thankful for the time of fellowship, prayer, testimonies, laughter, great food, and most importantly, the presence of God.

It was a blessing to watch men come together, strengthen friendships, encourage one another, and grow deeper in their walk with the Lord. These are the moments that not only build stronger men but also strengthen our church family.

Thank you to every man who came and helped make this trip special. Also thank you to our brother Tim Giles (Brother Peepaw) for putting this trip together for us! We are so thankful for him! We made memories that will last a lifetime and were reminded once again of the importance of Christian brotherhood.

“Behold, how good and how pleasant it is for brethren to dwell together in unity!” — Psalm 133:1 (KJV)

“Iron sharpeneth iron; so a man sharpeneth the countenance of his friend.” — Proverbs 27:17 (KJV)

Today our middle-age Sunday School class learned what it means to walk by faith.

Each child was blindfolded and had to navigate obstacles by listening to a voice they could trust. They couldn’t see the path ahead, but they could choose to trust the one guiding them.

Isn’t that exactly how our walk with God often feels? We don’t always know what’s around the next corner, but we can trust the One who does.

“For we walk by faith, not by sight.” — 2 Corinthians 5:7

So proud of these sweet kids and the lessons they’re learning about trusting Jesus.

Please continue praying for strength, comfort, and peace for everyone who loved Bro. Jim so dearly. He will be greatly missed by our church family, but we rejoice knowing he has made it home.
