Happy Anniversary to Cindy and Tim White who celebrated on Sunday!
Bro. Scott Ridgway preached a message from Galatians 6:11-18. This passage focused on the Cross of Christ. May we all glory in the Cross and what Jesus accomplished for those who would follow Him! It is at the Cross that Jesus redeemed us from our sins!
Sunday afternoon, several folks got together for visitation in the community.
Ray and Beth spent some time in OKC for Rumble @ Devon Park -- 10U. The games on Friday went smoothly, but rain caused cancelation of games on Saturday. However, Sunday's games proceeded as planned. It was a great tournament, even if it was a bit shorter than planned! Congratulations to Tournament Champs, Athletics Walde! 2nd place was Gametime x4 Gold. Congratulations to all teams who participated!
Church camp is coming! Pray for God's leadership with these kids. And pray for the sponsors who will help guide them. If you want to help, contact the church office for information on how you can help.
It may be a scholarship for one of the kids who WANTS to go, but can't afford it. It may be donating food (those kids can EAT a lot!). It may be going with the group and being a sponsor. Pray about what God would have you to do.
Please continue to pray for those you know. There are many who would appreciate your prayers! Pray for upcoming Mission Trips, those who are ill, families who are hurting, leaders, and personal requests.
