Meeting One is Done

Hello everyone,

Meeting number one is under the belt. We had a great conversation and prayer about our community and the kids. There is a need for hope, goals and vision - hope that there is something beyond the day-to-day, paycheck-to-paycheck existence. The good news of Jesus Christ has an answer for sin that chains us to hopelessness and a mission that can take us beyond "this is the only thing I know" routine!

Based upon that discussion here is what lessons we decided matched up best with what God wants to speak into the life of the children this summer(please visit the "High Seas Expedition" link for more info):

* God's word is comforting (day two)
* God's word is life changing (day four)
* God's word is for everyone (day five)

The 3 day dates for VBS are: Monday August 2nd through Wednesday August 4th, with the Unity Service on Sunday August 8th(the exact times will be announced after the next meeting in June).

Please pray for leaders in the following areas:

* Snack leader
* teen leader
* Bible leader

There will be no crafts this year due to the costs and our desire to experiment with other options.

We also limited the number of teenage helpers to 15 to insure we have a group we can manage and depend on to be there each night.

Thank you all for your help and prayerful support! (Next meeting TBA)
God bless!
