Chicken BBQ Saturday, Thanks VBS Peeps, and Rise Against Hunger…
Hey smelly saints!
You ever smell something that immediately reminds you of someone or someplace?
As believers, Paul describes us as “the aroma of Christ” (2 Corinthians 2:15). So, in a very real way, our lives are to smell like Jesus, to remind the world of Someone Else, someone who has overcome sin and death.
How do we relate to others like that? “in Christ we speak before God with sincerity, as those sent from God.” (2 Corinthians 2:17)
True, aromatic, smelly, transformative ministry is…
“In Christ”…in intimate union with Him, not apart from Him
“Before God”…under the Father’s watchful care, in His constant presence
“With sincerity”…full-hearted devotion, integrity and honesty, not faking it or putting on a show
“Sent from God”…not for our own fame, but according to His word and will.
Let’s be smelly today, for the sake of Christ, the glory of God and the good of our families and neighbors. Relax…this is not about you, but about Him, the One who overcame the grave and is calling people to Himself through his smelly saints and with his Holy Spirit today.

THANKS FOR MAKING VBS AWESOME!
What a great week we had with 173 children and 61 helpers!
We learned at VBS last week how to “Make Waves” in our world by showing Jesus’ love to others. One small act of obedience to Jesus can cause a ripple effect and change the world around us. Thank you to the volunteers who said “Yes!” to VBS and started a ripple in the lives of the families in our community. Thank you for your time, example, and love that you gave to the kids in our community. We believe that there were some seeds planted, or some ripples started, that the Holy Spirit will turn into some big waves!

Missions Prayer Emphasis for May & June-Asia Pacific
Because we want to be people who pray relentlessly, we cover the earth with our prayers through the year. For May and June, we’re asking God to provide for, protect and direct the work of these missionaries and to pour out His Spirit of justice, grace and truth over these countries in the Asia Pacific region of the Church of the Nazarene.
Now to him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us, to him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus to all generations, for ever and ever! Amen. (Ephesians 3:20-21)
Grace and Peace,
Pastor Josh and the Stillmeadow Team
