We had a pretty wild time with the youth playing water slide kickball. We have a great group of kids who love to get together. Thank you to everyone who helps with our youth!

It's a difficult topic, but it's something that affects so many of us. This week we will talk about when your kids go astray, and remember that God knows what it is like to have wayward children. Sunday starts at 9:30 Worship at 10:40

What a great night for a pool party! The kids had a great time at the Back to School splash tonight. A big thank you to Bob Scillufo and Sheila Pollard Scillufo for running the concession stand and Fallon Scillufo for keeping the pool open and extra night for us.

Wanted to let everyone know that one of FBC Herrin's own, Pastor Jack Hall, will be celebrating 50 years of ministry with First Baptist Church of Shawneetown. The celebration will be on Sunday, August 11 from 12:30 to 3:30 pm . Here is a flyer for more info.

VBS is in full swing and it is AWESOME!!! (If anyone has pictures of roller coaster, please post them. I can't ride a roller coaster and take pictures at the same time.) There are still 3 more days of VBS left, so if you haven't brought your child yet, there is still time. 6:00-8:30 pm.

Ken and Rachel Dawkins are volunteering at the Lighthouse Shelter in Marion tomorrow if anyone would like to join them! Thank you for volunteering!

Please watch this video about the work of God in missions! "Only in heaven will we really see what God has been doing." So, so true! Let this video inspire you

A rainbow, a pig, and some cheerleaders kind of stole the show, but we have a lot of fun playing softball Sunday evening. Thanks to everyone who came out to play and cheer. Lots of talent out there!

I didn't share this from last week, but I am very proud of our students for their work at the House of Hope. They served well on both Wednesday and Friday. This is Friday's group. Between the 2 days, I believe we had about 20 different students who helped.

Hey everyone! Don't forget that Day Camp is coming up next week. We've updated the church website and moved the Day Camp link to the front page. If you have children or know of folks who would like to bring their kids to Day Camp, they can register here: http://fbcherrin.org/day-camp.html

You've probably heard the story of Jesus calming the storm. You may not completely understand its meaning. There is an important element to our faith that you may be missing, and on Sunday, I will show you what that is from Mark 4. Hint: You'll love Jesus more if you fear him too.
