Spiritual Growth
CHRISTIANS ARE BLESSED in worship as they set aside time and distance to honor God together, to hear His Word, and to pray for one another. They are blessed to know Christ, and have Him work among them in His sacraments. Be an expectant worshiper this month. Come, see Jesus in the fulness of His grace, and give Him thanks and praise.
VACATION BIBLE SCHOOL was held at St. John May 27 and 28. We shared the Gospel with 77 students between the ages of 3 and 12, and had 31 teen helpers, and 23 adult volunteers.
Thanks for your prayers to reach our community with the love and joy found in Jesus Christ. The race of faith begins and ends with Jesus, who endured the cross, and gives us His crown of glory by faith. Pray for these labors to bear fruit in God’s kingdom among us!
