Pastor's Notes

We have begun receiving registrations for Vacation Bible School. This excites me as I take the phone calls from parents and I am looking forward to spending time with the young people. I get to participate in the daily skit and in the preparation of games. There are fliers available to use to invite your friends and their children to VBS.

As I write, I am preparing to attend a wedding at West Point Military Academy for a young man who attended here as a cadet. I am looking forward to seeing him again, and meeting his wife. It has been exciting to see the way God has led in this man's life.

The children are enjoying the warmer weather. It is getting harder and harder to keep them interested in staying inside so that Mommy and Daddy can get things done. Jennifer likes to take a book and go outside and read, and Rebekah loves to ride any bike that she can get her hands on. All of them are enjoying fighting the squirrels and birds for the berries that just began to ripen.

The Kaiser family will only be able to be with us for a couple more weeks before they move onto the next place that God has called them. Please continue to keep them in prayer as they move, and that God would fill their void in our midst.

In a couple weeks, I will be teaching CPR to the staff at Tri-State Bible Camp. I will probably also be renewing my life guarding and CPR cards at the same time. My current Instructor cards expire in December, but because I taught last summer, they will be extended to December 2012. I am hoping to take a crossover class so that I can teach baby sitting. The Red Cross says that I need to learn to change diapers from them in order to get certified to teach others how to babysit. If there is ever interest in the church, we can offer a class on CPR here.
