e-news for week of 6/15/11

What a phenomenal start to our VBS week, “The Journey.” It’s such a great blessing to work with hundreds of kids worshiping and praising God. We all need to take a moment and say, “Thanks” to Katelyn Morris and her team for the great job and planning that has gone into this week. It’s been fun to see a great group of Forum ladies huddled up in the VBS command center leading up to this week of ministry. It’s thrilling to see the great news of Jesus and his saving grace and power get planted, watered, and nurtured in our children.

If you haven’t come by this week (even if you don’t have children in the age group) stop by and see it in action. It’ll be a highlight of your week.

I also want to invite you to the ordination of DJ Pittman Thursday night at 7 p.m. DJ is a recent graduate of Central Christian College of the Bible. He has started as the youth minister at Branches of Christ Christian Church in Acworth, GA. He’s also getting married this weekend to a wonderful young woman, Diana Grayson whom he met here at Forum in youth group settings. Both Diana’s father, Darren Grayson, and grandfather, Carl Holem serve as deacons here. It’s great to see all of these things unfolding to the glory of God. The ordination will happen by the tomb in the parking lot if weather permits. We’ll move inside to room 205 (high school room) if weather is adverse.

Moses said, “I am a man of faltering lips.”

After Sunday, I can relate. Thanks for the kind and uplifting words and I hope my voice didn’t pain you too much Sunday. This weekend, we’ll continue in “The Journey” looking at “The Strong Hand of God” from Exodus 7-10. This sermon series is designed for you and your children to have spiritual talking points together in that it complements our VBS curriculum. As a church we strive to intentionally connect people to Jesus.

Every word in that statement was poured over and as a ministry team – we press ourselves to be highly intentional about helping families grow together spiritually. We are also very intentional about children and teens growing and deepening in their faith.

Looking forward to another great worship as a church family this Sunday.

Scott
