16 Hazel Cariaga 18 Jamira Baniqued *In his book, Notes From The Tilt-A-Whirl, N. D. Wilson wrote the 19 Victoria Gomez 21 Christopher Cortez following: 21 Max Lee “The world is rated R, and no one is checking IDs. Do not try 21 Jacquline Villarreal to make it G by imagining the shadows away. Do not try to 22 Cadence Gamble 23 Phillip Martin hide your children from the world forever, but do not try to 24 Clara Kennemer 25 Sandra Howington pretend there is no danger. Train them. Give them sharp 25 Michelle McGaha eyes and bellies full of laughter. Make them dangerous.” 25 Wil Sims Watch, stand fast in the faith, be brave, be strong. –1 Corinthians 16:13 26 Miranda Glidewell 27 A.J. Johnson 28 Mario Abrignani *Shakespeare once wrote that “all the world’s a stage.” Jared Totten made this comment: “The universe we live in is a work of 28 Iain Kerr 29 Cher Lively art and the masterpiece of The Artist. It is a drama, a play, and 30 Donna Griffith
God is the Author. And so, just as His writing style reflects, there are surprises, twists, and turns. It doesn't progress in an uneventful, gradual incline. The best dramas have real tragedies, the best paintings have both shadow and light.” We wish life was a light-hearted romantic comedy, but in reality life is more like a tragedy-filled drama. God has promised us a happy ending (Revelation 22), but plot twists are common. We make plans, and then the inexplicable and unexpected happen. Thank Him that He not only is the Author of this script, but also the Director.

Blessed are the merciful, For they shall obtain mercy. Blessed are the pure in heart, For they shall see God. Blessed are the peacemakers, For they shall be called sons of God. - Matthew 5:3-9

We are very blessed to have had a successful Vacation Bible School this year with 7 children accepting Christ! And although we did our best to keep the costs low, we did not receive enough donations to cover what was spent this year. Each teacher/leader spent approximately $50 out of pocket, and the church budget covered the curriculum. However, an addition $765 was spend on snacks, crafts and décor. $400 was donated already, and I would like challenge you to donate the additional $365 to replace what was spent. So if you find it in your heart (or your wallet) to donate to the VBS fund now for next year, that would be greatly appreciated!
Sunday, July 31, 2016 6:00 pm Join us for an evening of entertainment brought to you - BY YOU! Followed by a pot luck dessert fellowship. If you have a song, poem or testimony to share, please contact Scott at (361) 876-7126.
