For those of
you that would like to do some extra study on the VBS theme
this week, below is the theme for each day. I invite you all
to use this as a daily devotional for this week. Also, I
will be in and out of the office tomorrow as Carrie and I do
some final preparation for VBS.
In our
prayers this week: Robert and Alice, Ann, Wendi, and
Patti Morton (who just joined us on Pentecost Sunday, she
fell and broke her ankle and has an xray tomorrow)
God’s Peace,
Pastor Judson
