God frees us from the frightening prospect of “evangelism”. For true witnessing is seeing others, and joyfully sharing the beauty of the God who rescues us.

[Sunday] Priestly Prayers - Missio Dei Part 5
Jesus frees us from the pressure of having to pray the "perfect" way. Because He is the Lamb who was slain, you can pray boldly knowing your Father in heaven hears you!

[Sunday] Matthew 2 - Richer
Virtually every life transforming event recorded in Scripture includes a journey, a process the people involved go through that leads to insight, transformation and new life for all willing to engage that journey. The journey always includes elements of sacrifice, worship, trust and faith. Christmas is about Jesus making the journey from heaven to earth, for the Magi it was the journey from wisdom to humility. For us, it is a journey to wonder and new life.

[Sunday] Psalm 2 - Richer
Psalm 1 provides a blueprint for spiritual life, and helps us see how Jesus grew into His Messianic role. Psalm 2 broadens from individual growth to God's MESSIANIC PLAN for the world and takes in the entire sweep of history. This Sunday we are in an Advent state of mind. Next Sunday we celebrate Christmas in July through the eyes of the Magi.

We closed out our final Bible Club of the year on Wednesday, and wow... what an amazing year it has been! 🎉
We went all out for the finale. Betsy blew everyone away with some super fun science experiments, and the kids got to taste passion fruit for their tropical fruit treat. After getting creative with some fish art projects, we ended the day with absolute chaos, throwing over a thousand water balloons at each other (and the parents!).
Huge thanks to everyone who helped make this entire year so fantastic.

Wow, what a great turnout for Red, White, and BBQ! Big thanks to Jerry for smoking up some amazing chicken and pork, and for providing the brisket for our raffle. Shoutout to the winners—hope you enjoy it!
Thanks to everyone who came through and brought food. The games this year were next level. The sponge water-transfer game was a blast, and the tug-of-war was hysterical, I love how many people randomly jumped in to help! It seriously warms my heart to see everyone hanging out, talking, and laughing together.

[Sunday] Joshua 1:9 - Richer
Be strong and courageous" isn't God telling you to try harder. It's an invitation to rest in the victory He has already won.
"Be strong and courageous" isn't God telling you to try harder. It's an invitation to rest in the victory He has already won.
Questions for the Week: Joshua 1:9
In what areas of your life (parenting, career, relationships) do you feel the exhausting pressure that everything depends entirely on your performance?
Read Joshua 1:1-9: Joshua was facing an impossible, terrifying transition with the death of Moses and a flooded river ahead of him. Have you ever faced a life transition that felt impossible, and how did God's presence carry you through it?
It’s exhausting to constantly try to bend God's will to match what we want—whether in our jobs, marriages, or politics. Jesus did the exact opposite in the Garden of Gethsemane ("Not my will, but yours be done"). When is it hardest for you to stop fighting and trust God’s plan?
God gives Joshua the victory. How does it take the pressure off you to know that God doesn't need you to be a "perfect professional" to do His work in someone else's life?

Church Family in need of Van Because of Fire.
Family in need after van fire.
The past couple of weeks have been quite a whirlwind for Emily and Fabrice!
Two weeks ago, they welcomed their fourth child into the world, mom and baby are both doing wonderful and healthy.
However, this past week brought an unexpected trial when their family van caught fire and was completely destroyed.
We would love to rally around the family to help them purchase a replacement vehicle. If you feel led to give, please send your donation to the church and designate it for "The Van Fund."
Christmas Boxes - Toothbrushes!
Collecting toothbrush, toothpaste and pencil cases for Christmas Boxes in August!
Toothbrushes, toothpaste and pencil cases for the Month of AUGUST!
We are still collecting BACKPACKS as well as anything else you would like to add. It has to fit in the box, but anything you feel would be fun to include would be appreciated.
We are wanting to bless even more children in Hait this Christmas. We are doubling our goal to 400 gift boxes!
Let’s start early so we can meet this awesome goal.
Each month we will focus on a type of a gift, but feel free to bless the children with whatever gift will fit in a plastic shoebox. OR—each box costs about $25.00, so if you would like to donate money, we will use it to purchase items for you.
Amazon has many gift ideas and are more reasonable when you put the word “bulk” in the search line, such as “Soccer balls bulk”.
Here are the goals for the next 7 months:
May - Soccer balls
June - Baby dolls (8” or under), necklaces & bracelets
July - Backpacks
August - Pencil cases, toothbrushes, toothpaste
September - Bar soap, hairbrushes, double ball hair ties
October - Toys-card games, jump ropes, little cars, coloring books (without words), etc., hard candy
November - Anything goes that fits in the box!

[Sunday] Psalm 23: The Lord is - Richer
Psalm 23 is a beautiful song of trust, declaring true freedom, daily provision, and a grace that aggressively pursues us in every season of life.
Psalm 23 is a beautiful song of trust, declaring true freedom, daily provision, and a grace that aggressively pursues us in every season of life.
Questions for the Week: Psalm 23 - The Lord is
Read Psalm 23: It is usually read at funerals, but it helps us trust God every single day. Which part of Psalm 23 brings you the most comfort on a normal, average day?
The Israelites had manna from heaven but still complained that they lacked meat, even wishing to go back to slavery. Where in your life do you struggle with a scarcity mindset, believing that God hasn't given you enough?
When faced with the "presence of our enemies" or dark valleys, our instinct is to fight, defend ourselves, or take control. How does the image of Jesus calmly setting a table for you in the middle of chaos change how you handle conflict?
The Hebrew word for "follow" (as in "goodness and mercy shall follow me") means to aggressively pursue or chase down. How does it feel to know that God is actively chasing you with grace, rather than you having to constantly pursue Him?
