In sports you here a lot about, "Following Through". Whether it be a golf or a tennis swing, rolling a bowling ball or shooting a basketball. Following through is a must if you want to do your best! The same holds true for us in the Church. We often times talk a lot about what we should do or what some should do, but then talk is cheap and putting the effort in takes work, patience and desire. Take last weeks Vacation Bible School for instance. We had a large number of children in attendence whose families do not know Christ or do not have a church family that they are active in. Oh, a few will claim membership somewhere because once upon a time they were baptized there as a kid, but they are rarely in attendence. Now it is time for me and I need your help to "Follow Through" with those families with the hope of bringing them to Christ and unto a Church family who will love them and cherish them. Hopefully we might that Church they consider. So when I get back from Church Camp, Phase II of Vacation Bible School begins for us. We can bask in the glow of a successful VBS by those who attended and what they learned that week and then leave it at that or we can do the work that Christ has called us too, to bring the Gospel to all. Please keep this new phase in your prayers and if you are interested in making a batch or two of cookies or brownies for me to take to VBS attenders, please let know.
Love You all, Pastor Rick
