Thanks!

 

Thank you to all who helped with the funeral for Sharon on Thursday. Many of you brought food and showered the family with love in other ways. Some of you did behind the scenes things, like setting up the fellowship hall, assisting with parking, and more. We thank you all!

 

Thanks also to all who helped with our Homecoming Sunday today. Thanks to all who brought food, helped serve, helped clean up, and also to those who gave up their seats to guests. Thank you all!

The genealogies of some more of the 12 tribes of Israel

Wednesday

1 Chronicles 6

The genealogies of some more of the 12 tribes of Israel

Thursday

1 Chronicles 7-8

The genealogies of some more of the 12 tribes of Israel and the family of King Saul.

Friday

1 Chronicles 9-10

The families and duties of the Levites amd King Saul's descendants (here is where the narrative starts to pick up)

Saturday

1 Chronicles 11-12

David is made king and amasses an army.

 

Interesting notes:

·         1 Chron. 2:18 – this is not Caleb the spy.

·         1 Chron. 11:19 – Why didn't David drink it? He wanted to pour it out as an offering to the Lord.

·         1 Chron. 12:26 – Levites were exempt from joining the army, but some joined in support of David and his men.

Gear up for an underground adventure that grounds kids in the rock-solid foundation of God's love, a love that takes us through life's dark times. (There'll also be an awesome program for our teens).

 

This year's theme is :

"Cave Quest:
Following Jesus,
the Light of the World"

 

5:30-6:30p- Supper

6:30-8:45p- Cave Quest VBS!

 

Please pray for VBS and that kids will be impacted for Christ through it. Also, pray about where God can use you in our VBS this year.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Just Remember:

When Elijah prayed down fire from heaven,
and put to shame the prophets of Baal
he was a notable minority,
but he won (with God)!
