A Note of Thanks…
Thanks to everyone who came to Camp Day on Sunday! Despite the drizzly day, it’s still a beautiful place that we are blessed to have access to use. There were a lot of laughs and wonderful food! Nobody went home hungry! Thanks to everyone who planned and made this day run smoothly! Thank you, Pastor Jim, for your SS Devotional and Pastor Will, for your Sunday Sermon! And during the sermon, the sun came out. What a beautiful gift from God! Also, want to thank the camp staff who set up everything and got our food ready. They were such a huge help. Despite the rain, there was still a treasure hunt, volleyball game and swimming. And finishing with ice cream sundaes and Root Beer floats. What a wonderful place to feel and see God’s majesty!
The Super Seniors will now be traveling to the East Broadtop Railroad and the Trolley Museum in the church van and a rented 15 passenger van. We will be leaving from the CHURCH at 7:30 a.m. that morning. This has reduced the cost of the trip to $70/person. If you have already paid for the trip, you will be reimbursed $25/person. If you have not paid yet, please do so as soon as possible. If you choose to travel in your own vehicle, the cost will still be $70. Thank you for understanding.

Isaiah 43:16-19 16 This is what the Lord says — he who made a way through the sea, a path through the mighty waters,
17 who drew out the chariots and horses, the army and reinforcements together, and they lay there, never to rise again, extinguished, snuffed out like a wick: 18 “Forget the former things; do not dwell on the past. 19 See, I am doing a new thing! Now it springs up; do you not perceive it? I am making a way in the wilderness and streams in the wasteland.
Joshua 1:1-9 1 After the death of Moses the servant of the Lord, the Lord said to Joshua son of Nun, Moses’ aide: 2 “Moses my servant is dead. Now then, you and all these people, get ready to cross the Jordan River into the land I am about to give to them—to the Israelites. 3 I will give you every place where you set your foot, as I promised Moses. 4 Your territory will extend from the desert to Lebanon, and from the great river, the Euphrates—all the Hittite country—to the Mediterranean Sea in the west. 5 No one will be able to stand against you all the days of your life. As I was with Moses, so I will be with you; I will never leave you nor forsake you.
6 Be strong and courageous, because you will lead these people to inherit the land I swore to their ancestors to give them.
7 “Be strong and very courageous. Be careful to obey all the law my servant Moses gave you; do not turn from it to the right or to the left, that you may be successful wherever you go. 8 Keep this Book of the Law always on your lips; meditate on it day and night, so that you may be careful to do everything written in it. Then you will be prosperous and successful.
9 Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged, for the Lord your God will be with you wherever you go.”
