To Choose or NOT To Choose!

I came across this quote in my inbox from last week's Rick Warren in his Ministry Toolbox, and I thought I would share it with you.

God Bless

"A church must choose to grow or not to grow. Many churches have deliberately chosen not to grow. They make that choice in a variety of ways. They make it by the programs they offer. They make it by the amount of time and energy they invest in evangelism. They make the decision by the size of the building they choose to build.... If we really love God and we really love people, then the desire for church growth cannot be optional." - Rick Warren

VBS SPORTS CAMP



Hi everyone,

Just wanted to recap our sports camp we just completed. We had an amazing week with over 85 different students participating in 1 of 4 different sports (basketball, soccer, cheerleading and football). Both the kids and all the coaches had a great time and really enjoyed the week. We will look forward to doing another sports camp next year for our elementry students as well as adding a middle school program as well.

Thank you to all the volunteers who helped out and made it an amazing event, we could not have done it without you.
SEE YOU NEXT YEAR
Steve
