For the week of May 31, 2026
Hi church family!
I hope you had a great weekend. Mine was pretty good! We ran into our first snag in the garden this year- some squirrels got in and ate all of our bean seedlings. We’ll have to replant this week. Here’s what we are looking at this week:
Wednesday Evening Fellowship:
Our First fellowship will be next week at church. We will begin at about 6:30. More details to come this weekend.
VBS ‘26:
This year, our VBS theme is God’s game Plan, Play Life God’s Way! Over the next few weeks, we’ll be recruiting volunteers to help out with all areas our VBS. Please be in prayer over what God would have you do during this week of serving our community. The dates of our VBS are
· Sunday, July 12th: decoration day after church
· Monday, July 13th – Thursday, July 16th: VBS from 6:30 – 8:00.
The areas we need help are:
· Decoration- plan and decorate the church the day before VBS
· Check in and registration- welcome, check in, and register new our VBS members when they arrive each evening
· Snacks- make a menu, prepare, and give our snacks
· Classroom Helper- assist the student missionaries from North Main as they teach
· Security- Answer questions from students, secure the building, and keep everyone safe.
We are currently 6 weeks away from VBS week, and we have 17 kids signed up.
Summer Sunday School:
This week marks the beginning of our Summer Sunday School series in the book of Revelation. We begin at 9:30, and I hope to see you there.
JOY Club:
Our next JOY Club is on Thursday, June 18th, at 12:30. We will be eating at Longhorn in Strongsville. We hope to see you there!
Additional Resources:
Over the weekend, we ended our sermon series, Selected Psalms (Volume 3) by looking at Psalm 85. Here is the sermon information: Sermon Series: Selected Psalms (Volume 3)
Text: Psalm 85:1-13
Sermon Title: Revive us again
Main Idea of the Text: We seek restoration because not only has God been faithful to restore before, but it is also consistent with His character.
Main Idea of the Sermon: The Lord is faithful to restore us to Himself.
I- The past of restoration (Verses 1-3)
II- The faith in restoration (Verses 4-7)
III-The declaration of restoration (Verses 8-9)
IV The character of restoration (Verses 10-13)
As always, you can find the sermon on our YouTube page, here:
Sermon Series: Selected Psalms (Volume 3)-Revive Us Again Psalm 85:1-13
Anyhow, I think that’s it! I hope you have a great week, and I’ll see you soon.
Sincerely in Christ,
Pastor Larry Bogen
