On Sunday, Todd walked us through Matthew 6:25–34 where Jesus, in a commanding way, tells his disciples three times not to be anxious about what they'll eat, drink, or wear. We talked about how worry is ultimately a failure to trust God's sovereignty, how it's futile and harmful to our bodies and souls, and how Jesus points to the birds and the lilies to show that our Father provides. The cure he gives is plain: seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, bring your requests to God in prayer and thanksgiving (Philippians 4:6–7), and trust that he will add what you need.

Church worship is so much bigger than music styles or personal preferences. When we gather together, we encourage one another, proclaim God’s truth, pray, serve, give thanks, and fix our hearts on Christ as one body. Worship isn’t about finding the perfect song—it’s about bringing God the glory He deserves together.

Join us tomorrow at 10:15 to raise our voices as one to magnify the name of Jesus!

Summer break is a magical season. The alarm clock stops screaming, the lunchboxes disappear, and suddenly every parent becomes a part-time chauffeur, snack distributor, and referee for arguments like, “He looked at me weird!” Kids dream of sleeping in, parents dream of silence, and everyone somehow ends up sunburned at least once before July.

But summer is more than a break from schedules—it’s an opportunity to slow down and notice what really matters.

The Bible says, “So teach us to number our days that we may get a heart of wisdom.” (Psalm 90:12). Summer has a funny way of reminding us how quickly time passes.

One minute your kids are catching fireflies, and the next they’re asking for the car keys. The vacations, backyard cookouts, and late-night ice cream runs are gifts from God meant to point us toward something deeper: relationships, joy, and eternity.

Jesus often used everyday moments to teach eternal truths. A picnic became a miracle. A fishing trip became a lesson in faith. A walk down the road became an invitation to follow Him. Maybe this summer, God wants to meet you in the ordinary moments too.

Sure, make the memories. Go to the lake. Roast marshmallows until one inevitably catches on fire. But don’t miss the chance to ask bigger questions. What if the restlessness we feel even during the “perfect” summer points to our need for something more permanent? Ecclesiastes 3:11 says God has “put eternity into the human heart.”

The truth is, no vacation can fully satisfy the soul. We were created for a relationship with God through Jesus Christ. Summer fades, tans disappear, and mosquito bites heal—but the hope found in Christ lasts forever.

So this summer, alongside the sunscreen and bug spray, make room for Jesus. He’s not just part of a better summer. He’s the source of everlasting life.

Based on last Sunday's sermon, how can you become a tour guide TOMORROW to help children in our church body become participants in worship and not just spectators? Even if you don't have kids in the home, you aren't off the hook. Jump in and sit with a family with young children to be an extra set of hands!

The people stood in the square—men, women, and children old enough to understand. Ezra unrolled the scroll, his voice carrying God’s words across the crowd. For hours, they listened. No one fidgeted or whispered about lunch. Their hunger for truth outweighed their discomfort. Parents pointed to the scroll, helping children connect the Law to life. The Levites moved through the crowd, explaining hard phrases. This wasn’t a performance—it was a family feast.

God designed His Word to be heard together. He includes children in His covenant community, not as distractions but as disciples-in-training. When Ezra read, he didn’t segregate the “mature” listeners from the squirmy ones. He trusted the Word itself to shape all who leaned in.

This week, notice how you view children in the worship service. Do you mentally relegate children to “wait until they’re older”? Or do you see their presence as part of God’s plan? How can you help younger children participate in worship?

“All the people gathered as one man… And Ezra the priest brought the Law before the assembly, both men and women and all who could understand what they heard.”(Nehemiah 8:1-2, ESV)

Read Nehemiah 8:1-3 aloud tonight. Think about one way to engage younger listeners this Sunday.

What a beautiful day in the life of the church! On Sunday we celebrated 3 baptisms — powerful outward symbols of inward transformation and steps of obedience to the Lord in response to His incredible gift of salvation. Seeing lives publicly declare faith in Jesus is a reminder that God is still changing hearts, redeeming stories, and drawing people to Himself.

We also had the joy of dedicating a child to the Lord, as parents committed themselves to raising their child to know and follow Christ surrounded by the love and support of their church family. And we welcomed new members into our church body — people choosing to link arms in worship, service, discipleship, and mission together.

Days like this remind us that the Church is more than a building or a weekly gathering. It is a living testimony of God’s grace at work across generations and life stages. We praise God for His faithfulness and celebrate all He is doing in and through His people!
