Patience: Waiting until later for what you want now

Waiting is a part of life, but, thankfully, we do not have to wait on our own. Through the Holy Spirit, God can help us experience the patience we need to wait well. After all, God is patient with us. And He is in control and knows what is best for us.

Even though His people had been waiting for years for the promised Savior, at just the right time, God sent Jesus. Because we are created in God’s image, we can reflect God’s patience in our lives. We can lean on the Holy Spirit to give us the strength we need to trust God and show patience when we encounter difficult circumstances in our lives.

Waiting may be hard, but God’s Holy Spirit can help us. We cannot avoid having to wait, but we can choose how we respond. A good way to discover patience is to think about what is true about God: God loves us and knows what is best for us. He cares for us and is always with us. We can trust God no matter what.

Kids are our future of the church, and investing in them is key to building a bright world for future generations. Setting a strong foundation of worship in kids from a young age not only sets them on the right path but also encourages them to be more productive members of society and share their gifts with the world. Kids' Church is offered to not only help kids learn the importance of Jesus Christ but to help them with their spiritual development and life-long relationship with Jesus. Kids' Church provides a kid-friendly message, object lesson, and/or activity that ties directly to the message being shared in our main worship service. This allows the kids to learn at their own pace and with a message that speaks directly to them.

While this is an important part to our children's ministry, there are times in which it is important for the kids to stay with their families in the sanctuary. For this reason, Kids' Church is not offered on Communion Sundays or special Sundays such as Easter and Christmas. Kids' Church is also only offered periodically throughout the summer.

Even though we can be overwhelmed with feelings of anxiety for this next generation coming behind us, I believe the struggles of 2024 aren’t actually all that different than they always have been. There’s nothing new under the sun, after all. And there has always been a reason to celebrate in the midst of it all.

People who follow Jesus will always have a reason to celebrate.

And VBS is, indeed, a celebration! It’s an annual opportunity to gather with a captive audience of young ones, pointing them toward the God who loves them and sent His Son to have a relationship with them.

You always show me the path that leads to life. You will fill me with joy when I am with you.  Acts 2:28 NIrV

Is there anything better than playing water games on a hot summer day?!

All kids are invited for an afternoon of fun in sun right here at church. But come ready to get wet because this party is all about water games! From water balloons, to super soakers, to water racing games, no one will leave without getting wet!

This is a day that is just about fun and friendship. Bring clothes that can get wet along with a towel, and we'll provide the rest!

Whether you decide to come alone or invite some friends; this a party you do not want to miss! Please be sure to complete the form linked below so we can plan for who is coming and be made aware of any allergies or other special needs.
