Pastors Remarks
Dear Church Family,
School is out for another year and summer is here. That means vacations and traveling
for many people. Thats a good thing and we all deserve a change of scenery from time to
time.
We are getting near our Vacation Bible School time. I am grateful for all the workers
who have come on board to help us again this year. What a wonderful opportunity to
share the good news about Jesus with children and their parents. Please be in prayer for
our workers and the children and their families. VBS is an exciting time that takes over
our entire church for the week of June 13-17. It is always a busy but fun week.
For the months of June through August, our adult and youth Sunday morning LIFE
Groups will all be going through a curriculum called Lifecoach-Discipleship; W hat Y ou
Should Know and How You Can Grow . It is excellent material that every Christian
should have a grasp on. In fact, there are 50 questions, involving some basics, which
everybody ought to have answers for. For that period, my Sunday morning messages will
correspond to what you will be studying. At the end of the quarter I am going to challenge
some of you to commit to disciple someone, using the material you will have gone
through. Remember thats why we exist as a church- to make disciples. If you are not
already involved in a small group, I hope you will find one because that is where you will
benefit most.
We sometimes talk about our need to connect with our community. There is a great
opportunity for us to do that. On Saturday, June 4, 10:00 a.m.-2:00p.m., we will meet at
the city park in Frostproof for a time to mingle with people. We will provide food, games,
music and a time of Family Day Fun. I hope you will be involved, either by working at
a booth, or just be there to fellowship.
We are beginning a new Young Adults LIFE Group class. Pray for Ron and Tina Scali,
and Freddie Senterfitt, as they facilitate and minister to this age group.
At our quarterly business in April, we voted to approve new constitution and bylaws. If
you did not get a copy let me encourage you to do so and become somewhat familiar with
it.
Lets be faithful in our attendance and giving during these summer months.
In His love,

Bro. Darrol

Hello Family,

First of all, congratulations to all of our graduating high school seniors Class of 2016! Graduating this
year we have:
Gilberto Buentello
Darrion Gardner
Jacob Morrow

Landon Chance
Jennipher Kelley
Jacob Waibel

Ian Flynn
Brianna Long

We are extremely proud of your accomplishments and I look forward to seeing what will become of you
in the future. Always remember that the Lord has a plan for you and you can always rely on Him.
He has showed you, O man, what is good. And what does the LORD require of you?
To act justly and to love mercy and to walk humbly with your God. -Micah 6:8
Please be in prayer for these graduates as they begin a new journey in their life. Pray that they would be
able to discern the will of God in their school/work, and that they would have the courage to rely on
Jesus in this morally unstable culture.
Also, dont forget VBS dates are June 13th -17th this year; and we will need all hands on deck! If you
havent done so already, please prayerfully consider how you can participate in this years VBS.
Scripture is very clear when it comes to our responsibilities to our children: Train up a child in the way
he should go, and when he is old he will not depart from it, (Proverbs 22:6). Remember, both children
and youth scrutinize what we do much more than what we say. What kind of legacy are you leaving
behind for the younger generation?
In closing, please continue to pray for both the students and the counselors at this years youth camp:
Super Summer 2016. While ther e is nothing magical about the campus of Lake Yale, being in an
environment where Jesus is championed for a full week can have a profound effect on many of these
students who come from non-Christian homes. Please pray that many would realize that the same peace
and joy experienced through Christ at camp can be a reality for them in their everyday lives. Thank you
for your prayers and support.
Keep fishing,
Brian
