time to Celebrate

It has been a while since I posted. A vacation, sick kids and the like will do that. I promise to increase my frequency.

Some exciting things are beginning tomorrow. Music camp commences in the morning, running from Mon through Friday. In addition to this, Mary Alice Birdwhistell, our Children’s Minister has planned some regular activities. Calvary Bible Club will kick off at the end of the month too. Keep these things in prayer—asking God to touch the lives of our young people.

Tomorrow night (Monday, June 14), Celebrate Recovery will hold an open house from 6:30-8:00pm. CR is a 12 step Christian recovery program for anyone with hurts, habits and hang-ups. I think that covers just about everyone. If it doesn’t cover you personally, I can almost guarantee that you know a family member, friend or co-worker who would benefit from this program.

There is some stigma to walking into CR that first time. Making that walk into the Welcome Center amounts to an admission that you need help. As believers in Jesus Christ, haven’t we already confessed that?!

Tomorrow night will amount to an overview of CR including testimony from folks that are in the midst of the program or have gone through it. It will be a time to rejoice in Christian transformation. Please join us.
