Pray for Pastor Dan and the team to experience the power and leading of God’s Spirit as they minister in the city of Vsetin. Congratulations to Caitlin Patten and Cole Buchholz who were married yesterday in Okoboji! May God pour out His blessings on this couple. Praise the Lord for our Kids For Christ ministry held last week! Over 130 kids came to our Super Summer Sports SPLASHtacular. Pray for the kids & their families to learn from the Bible stories they heard and to experience the love of Christ.

FAMILY FAITH TALK During the week, seek to talk together about the people God used in 1 Kings 17:17-24. The questions progress from targeting younger children (#s 1 & 2) to targeting teens (#s 5 & 6). 1. What did Elijah do when he found out the bad news about the boy? 2. Whose power gave the boy his life back? 3. How did Elijah feel when the woman blamed her son’s death on Elijah? 4. When you have a difficult situation, what should you do? 5. What character traits did Elijah show during this difficult time? 6. What made it possible for Elijah to have this response? How can you emulate Elijah?
