Words for Wednesday

Wow! Two days of VBX under our belt and one more to go. It has really been a great two days. Our children's ministry has done a wonderful job of planning, decorating and teaching. I have especially liked the music during the evening service. A little techno always gets my old muscles moving.

Construction News:
The new parking lot has been slowed a little by the rain. Still shooting for a couple of weeks until completion. Painting, ceiling tile installation and a few odds and ends still going on inside. It really looks great. We purchased some chairs for the youth room yesterday so they should be happy they won't have to sit on the floor.

Ministry Update:
Beginning August 16Th we will have a new 5Th and 6Th grade ministry. There is a new room for them to meet in but just in case if construction is not done by that day they will meet in the gym. August 16Th is also promotion Sunday. So if you have children know they may be in a new classroom that day. I'm sure you probably have been receiving info on that day already.

Missions:
We are still getting ready for handing out backpacks the week of August 17Th to Wiley Post. The Women's ministry will be separating supplies on the 13Th and then we as a church will be filling the backpacks with supplies on the 16Th.

Our missions pastor has been leading a ministry downtown on Saturdays. This is a city wide opportunity for people to help. They are helping beautify an area known for prostitution, drug dealing and many other things. They are truly doing a great job of sharing the gospel message in a verbal and physical sense. Keep up the great work!

Personal Note:
I am doing good. Finally got some needed rest last night. Tough getting old!! Val and the boys are doing great! Val has been busy with some theater stuff and the boys, well.............. they just like to fight and wrestle. I think I finally gave up for the very first time in one of our wrestling matches the other day. Man, I was just wore out. I think it surprised the boys a little, they are used to my never give up attitude.

Hope each of you have a great day!!
