Vacation Bible School Wrap-Up from Wendy Ferguson

The Liberty Street Church of God's Vacation Bible School this summer was a huge success! Our theme this year was High Seas Expedition. Thanks to Diane Dunlap & her mother, the stage decorated perfectly for this theme. Throughout the week, we were able to minister to 83 different children. The children learned a different lesson each day. The lessons were:
1. God's Word is True!
2. God's Word is Comforting!
3. God's Word is Surprising!
4. God's Word is Life-Changing!
5. God's Word is for Everyone!
Each evening started with Jenny Bates teaching the children great worship songs along with some fun movements. Then each age group was led by a crew leader through five different stations. These stations were:
1. Bible Voyage (Storytelling) with Wendy Ferguson, Mindy Bish, & Dawn Christie
2. Snack Station with Michelle Aites & Marilyn Smith
3. Craft Station with Jill Henry & Karen Hazlett
4. Games Station with Mike Ferguson & David Ferguson
5. Missions Station with Laura Burford
Starting on Tuesday evening, the children began to bring money to give to the Bay City Food Bank. This food bank was set up for the people who lost their jobs due to the Gulf of Mexico oil spill. Then children started out giving nickels, then dimes, quarters, & finally dollar bills. Amazingly, the children collected over $1,039.51 to donate for our mission project!
The church was full for the 5:00PM program on Saturday July 17. The kids did an awesome job. The Pool Party held after the program was a big splash; we had over 100 people attending!!
We were so excited to see so many children enthusiastic about God! As co-directors, Karen & Wendy would like to thank everyone involved for their dedication to this year's VBS program. We love you all!! God Bless!

Bonfire @ Trinity Point

The Church Bonfire on June 11th was a HUGE success!! You may not have realized, but the fact is, we broke ground on our new facitilty that evening with two horseshoe stakes! Over 90 people attended & everyone had a wonderful time - it gave each of us a taste of our future.
It was a great time for fellowship with hot dogs, smores, worship & singing with Nancy Jeannerat, kids frolocking, horseshoes, leisurely conversation, & a beautiful sunset to top it all off!
As an update: the core samples as far as we know had good results, the sales agreement has been signed, the needs assessment has been sent to the Architect as the blueprints are being developed, & the we are hopeful that building can begin when the weather breaks in 2011. Our Building Committee has worked hard to get us to point & are to be commended.
Please continue to pray for our church body & our ministry in Clarion. Seek God, too, about how each one of us can play a role in the present & in our future. Remember that althought we are planning for our future ministry, the Lord also wants us to be busy doing ministry NOW. Get involved!
Jeremiah 29:11-13 "For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord. Plans to prosper you & not harm you, plans to give you hope & a future. Then you will call upon me & pray to me & I will listen. You will seek me & find me when you seek me with all your heart."
A special thanks to the Growth Department who planned & hosted the Bonfire event, Matt Bates for the post information, & to Mark Hazlett for providing pictures for the slideshow.
