At its core, cultivating an intimacy in which people can know and be known requires being honest—practicing that Christian discipline of telling the truth about where we live and how we got there. Often, I’d rather welcome guests into a cozy apartment worthy of Southern Living. I’d rather show them a Lauren who’s put together and serene. Often, telling the truth feels absurd.
Get it all HERE
For God alone, O my soul, wait in silence,
for my hope is from him.He only is my rock and my salvation,
my fortress; I shall not be shaken.
On God rests my salvation and my glory;
my mighty rock, my refuge is God.Trust in him at all times, O people;
pour out your heart before him;
God is a refuge for us. SelahPsalm 62:5-8
I met for prayer with a couple of brothers yesterday and this came up. Wonderful prayer!
What great week!

This week was a tremendous example of the church family coming together to serve Christ and His little ones. Harmony, Holli, and Nate, great job, your work is so appreciated. Thank you, thank you, thank you!
Today concludes our wonderful, exciting, creative and crazy week of VBS. For those of you who volunteered we know you are tired and ready for a weekend of rest. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for giving the kids a wonderful week. Thank you for making it what it was, fun and meaningful. Thank you for putting your energy into every hug, every snack, every service project, every lesson taught, every song, every craft, every baby held, every bubble blown out on the playground, every game. We know it was fun, and we know it was a sacrifice of your time. Thank you.
Today we wrapped up with our Big Question “What does Jesus want me to do?” and our Big Answer “Jesus wants me to know and love him and get fired up about sharing Him with others.” Our verse was: Matthew 28:19-20 Go and make disciples of all nations… teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always.”
Take It Home!
We shared a lot of good verses this week that can be a foundation for learning more about Jesus. Even though we packed a lot of scripture into one week, please take note of these verses and help your children learn them way beyond this week of VBS.
Enjoy the rest of your Summer!
