I want them to be encouraged and knit together by strong ties of love. I want them to have complete confidence that they understand God’s mysterious plan, which is Christ himself. In him lie hidden all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge. – Colossians 2:2-3 (NLT)

God’s Plan – Christ Himself

Christ is supreme and totally sufficient. Why go looking anywhere else for some “secret to life or relationship to God.” That’s what Paul’s detractors were trying to sell to the Colossians. For us as Christ followers, we could spend every hour of every day just trying to mine the riches that are hours in Christ and still be rookies. Find your treasure in Him and His word!

PTL For a Great VBS!

Thanks so much to Andrew Smith for organizing and overseeing everything so well – great job! For fear of leaving someone out, I will just say thank you, thank you, thank you to everyone else who helped in any way to make the week special for the kids and to share the good news of Jesus with them.

Well done to one and all!

After VBS

·  Pray for rest and relaxation for all VBS workers.

·  Pray for the openness of parents as follow-up contacts are made.

·  Pray that what was learned during VBS will make a difference in the lives of those who participated.

·  Pray that VBS prospects and their families will come to Sunday School and worship.

·  Pray that people who have accepted Christ as Savior can be brought into the fellowship of our church (or another church) and begin growing in Christlikeness.

·  Pray that people who worked in VBS will sense God’s pleasure and satisfaction with their efforts. Give thanks for an awesome week.

Think About It… Some of you will die in the service of Christ. That will not be a tragedy. Treasuring life above Christ is a tragedy.” – John Piper
