Only 3 more days until the fun lights up!

VBS Prayer Day 4!
God is our Yahweh Roeh, the Lord is my Shepherd.
Father God, we thank you that you are our shepherd. You lead and guide us into safe places, you tell us when to rest, you provide what we need and show us where to go. Lead our volunteers as they are preparing their lessons, lead our worship leaders as they are preparing the music, and all of our volunteers as they are preparing their hearts to love and serve our kids.
We ask that you lead and our guide our children next week. Help their hearts to be led to the living water of Christ. Help their hearts to be at peace, feel safe and loved, even if this is a new place for them. Protect us and our children from the enemy that would want to attack our flock. Thank you for being our loving shepherd, and help us to trust your guidance. In Jesus' name, Amen.

4 days until we shine together at Illumination Station!

VBS Prayer Day Three!
Our God is Yahweh Tsuri, The Lord is My Rock. Father God we rest in you because we know you are our rock, our sure foundation. We pray that everything we do this week is built on you, built on our rock and foundation of the truth of who you are. We don't want it built on ourselves, our personalities, our desires and wants, but on who you are and your Word. Thank you for being our firm place to stand if things feel uncertain. We trust in you. In Jesus' name, Amen.

Searching for fun? VBS is only 5 days away!

6 days until we SPOT you at VBS!

Seven Days of Prayers for VBS!
VBS is ONE WEEK from TODAY! We would covet your prayers for our volunteers and children over the next week as we prepare. Join us each day as we ask God to bless our efforts and wait in expectation for what He is going to do.
Father God, you are Yahweh Yireh, the Lord will provide. We ask that you provide the people, the supplies, the time, the energy, the wisdom, and the clarity for our volunteers and staff this week as we prepare. You are not surprised by anything that pops up last minute. And we ask that you provide the children that you want at our VBS, that you clear families' schedules, and take away any sicknesses or struggles that would keep children from coming. We thank you for providing all we need to do what you have called us to do. In Jesus' name, Amen.

This past Wednesday night, our 1st–3rd graders had the joy of visiting Brookdale Assisted Living to sing songs and hymns and share Scripture with the residents. The residents were so encouraged by our children, and the evening ended with sweet treats and handmade cards shared with everyone in attendance.

VBS VOLUNTEERS!
Training dates are almost here. We will have training THIS SUNDAY, May 24 at 4:00, OR you can come Wednesday, May 27 at 7:00. Both are in the Loft. When you come to one of the trainings you will get a free t-shirt. There is childcare available for both sessions. See you there!

Tonight is our last regular scheduled Wednesday with meal and full activities before the summer break! The summer will end and full activities resume July 22, right after Clinton schools go back in session. Note the dates during the summer will meet and when we won't. Stay safe and cool this summer!

And last but not least... as our seniors are graduating, we wanted to recognize them along with a sneak peak of where they're going in life next!
This is Mary Evins Wardlaw, and she is graduating from Clinton High School. After graduation she plans on attending the University of Mississippi, majoring in Biological Sciences with plans to pursue a career in Dentistry.
