Dirty Jobs

From now until camp, we will be taking Sunday night services and using them to help us prepare for camp.

The Middle School students will prepare themselves on how they will grow at Jonathan Creek.  We will be spending time talking about our goals for the week.

The High School students need to prepare themselves spiritually for the work they will be doing in New Orleans. To help with this the high school students will be working through a 4 lesson study called Dirty Jobs.  Thanks to Valerie for letting us know about this.

Camp Balances Due

Camp Balances are due this Sunday, June 3rd.

If you don't know how much you owe, here is some help on figuring it out.

How much you owe
The original cost of camp - $300
If you paid a deposit - $275
If you worked the fundraiser - $280
Fundraiser + Paid deposit - $255

If money is an issue let me know.  That should NOT be the reason to not attend camp.

If you filled out a scholarship form you will not need to pay anything.

End of the School Year Party - CHANGED!!!!

We have been invited to a block part at First Baptist of Walton.  The block part is next Wednesday June 6th.  We originally had an end of the school year party but we are changing it so we can participate in this event with other churches.

The great thing is that not much will change.  The times remain the same.  If you need a ride meet up at Oak Ridge at 5pm.  If you are driving yourself then just meet us up at First Baptist around 6pm.

There will be live music, games, and a message later.

We will be back at church by 9pm.

David Crowder-less Band

If you haven't heard of the David Crowder Band, I guarantee you've heard of one of their songs.  One of their biggest hits "No One Like You" has been sung at summer camps across the U.S.

This past year the band decided to call it quits.  They released one last album - "Give us rest or a requiem".

Soon after the album was released, news broke that members of the original band were making a new band called "The Digital Age".  It is made up of the David Crowder Band, minus David Crowder.

They haven't released an album yet, but here is a video of their latest rehearsal.

Another good reminder...

The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy. I came that they may have life and have it abundantly.  John 10:10


What then shall we say to these things? If God is for us, who can be against us?  He who did not spare his own Son but gave him up for us all, how will he not also with him graciously give us all things?  Romans 8:31-32


And my God will supply every need of yours according to his riches in glory in Christ Jesus.  Philippians 4:19

Prayer Request Time

The next two days will be a big day for one of our youth families. 

Tonight Lauren Martin will be graduating from Walton Verona.  Her plan after high school is to attend the University of Kentucky. 

Tomorrow her mother, Miss Hasty Martin will be traveling to Africa.  As most of you know Hasty has been involved with a wonderful organization, Operation Christmas Child (OCC).  This ministry gives churches opportunities to reach out to people all throughout the world.  With a simple shoebox full of toys and toiletries, we are able to share Christ's love and the gospel with children that have never received a gift before.

This past year Hasty was invited to help distribute the boxes in Uganda.

Please pray for Hasty, Chad, and Lauren.  Pray for Lauren as she finishes this chapter of her life and starts a new one.  Pray for safety for Hasty as she travels across the seas.  Pray for Chad as he supports his family.  Pray a prayer of thanks that God is sovereign and in control of all of these situations.

Take a few moments everyday to lift this family up in prayer.
