Loaded up and on the road to the Crayola Experience! #LighthouseKids

We had a blast last week at VBS 2019! Thank you for all of the prayers, donations, and thank you to all of the volunteers who shared their time and talents to make it a success!

Wishing everyone a fun and safe holiday!

Today we wrapped up VBS 2019! Thank you to all of the volunteers who made this week possible and to all of the kids who participated! We had an amazing week!

Our text Sunday is from John’s Gospel 1:35-42 As a church, our vision is we want to be so immersed in Jesus Christ that we reach out to our neighbors, sharing the Good News, inviting people in our life’s orbit, into a soul transforming , interior renovating, life giving, relationship with Jesus Christ and inviting them to be a part of Christ’s family, the Church… It’s going to be a great weekend, as we wrap up VBS! Hope you’ll join us🙏

We had a blast today at our first day of VBS!!!

“The Experiences of Life” God can take the mistakes of your life and bring a message out of it. God can take the tribulations in your life and create a testimony out of them. He can take the pain in your life and reveal His purpose for you. He can take the crisis in your life and He can show Christ’s light through it. Join us this morning at 9:30 or 10:45 as we wrap up our series on Discovering your Spiritual DNA.

We’re excited to worship together tomorrow on Father’s Day! Join us at 9:30 a.m. for contemporary worship and at 10:45 a.m. for special bluegrass music during our traditional service.

As we wrap up an incredible trip our hearts are tender and reminded of God’s sweet love for his children. Today we were greeted with an incredible sunrise and a slow morning to soak in some of the BIG things God has been actively working on in our hearts this week. We then took a day of rest (as suggested by the Lord himself) at the beaches of Montego Bay. Our evening was powerful as we took time as a group of 70 to share and answer the question, “What are you taking home with you?” During this time we heard remarkable testimonies to God’s goodness and steadfast love as the youth and adults shared how they saw our God make huge impacts this week. It’s clear that flames were ignited here in Jamaica and we pray that as this team returns we not only get home safely, but upon our return there may be a steady and consistent reminder of what was seen, felt and experienced here in this beautiful country. We can’t wait to share more with our church family!

For our fourth day, the group was split up to all the locations: Blossom Garden Orphanage, West Haven Home for the Disabled, Christian Bible School (CBS) , and JCSD (Jamaican Christian School for the Deaf) . At Blossom Garden, we were able to spend time with the orphans, feeding, comforting, and playing with them, which they loved dearly. At West Haven, we were blessed to spend time with the disabled adults and children. The wonderful spirit they all had and their beautiful smiles truly brought warmth to our hearts. Even though some couldn’t move around or even communicate, we were still able to be there to comfort them and make them smile greatly with joy. It was honestly the greatest feeling in the world. At CBS, we sang songs with the children from a village in the mountains and got to play some games with them. Last but not least, at JCSD, we were able to complete an excellent amount of work and spend some quality time with the deaf children. The work done by the group this day was said to be some of the best in years, and we finished early enough to have time to play sports and do arts and crafts with the children! God has openly worked through all of us to help out the best we can, but at the same time, God has given us marvelous experiences that have made our beliefs and mindsets much stronger. Again, thank you for all your prayers and support. Written by Jett

Reflections for this Sunday: “Now the whole offer which Christianity makes is this: that we can, if we let God have His way, come to share in the life of Christ. If we do, we shall then be sharing a life which was begotten, not made, which always existed and always will exist. Christ is the Son of God. If we share in this kind of life we also shall be sons of God. We shall love the Father as He does and the Holy Ghost will arise in us. He came to this world and became a man in order to spread to other men the kind of life He has — by what I call "good infection." Every Christian is to become a little Christ. The whole purpose of becoming a Christian is simply nothing else.” CS Lewis “We know that all things work together for good for those who love God, who are called according to his purpose.” Romans 8:28

Come and brainstorm with us about local outreach opportunities at our next mission team meeting! We hope to see you Tuesday, June 18 at 6:00 p.m. in room 1 to discuss different ways that we can be the hands and feet of Christ to our local community.

Your Jamaican crew is dropping in to say we made it safely and have been in awe of God’s goodness since the moment we arrived. We were greeted at the hotel with an incredible view of the coastline and a vibrant rainbow arching overhead. We took it as a clear sign that God was giving us the go ahead to do His work. On our first day of work we didn’t hesitate to jump in at the Jamaican Christian School for the Deaf (JCSD). Some of us were mixing and laying concrete while others worked on tiling a new classroom. That evening we had the incredible opportunity to listen to Ms. Sophia share her story about how God led her to open JCSD. The ultimate message being that wherever God leads you, He will provide. On our second day we split into two groups, one working on finishing up projects at JCSD while the others helped run CBS at a local neighborhood on the mountain and then traveled to West Haven, a home for individuals with severe disabilities. There they were able to share their love, laughter and smiles. We can’t thank you enough for your prayers and support. We ask that as our journey continues that you continue to pray for opportunities to start conversations about our incredible God and for energy to do His work. (Written by Kacie Meredith)
