Rise Against Hunger with us, Welcome Bash in August!
Dearly Beloved,
Instead of commentary on the reading for the day (daily readings can be found here), here are a few quotes from Paul from 2 Corinthians 5:11-6:2…
We know what it is to fear the Lord, so we try to persuade others.
For Christ’s love compels us, because we are convinced that one died for all…that those who live should no longer live for themselves but for him who died for them and was raised again.
We regard no one from a worldly point of view.
If anyone is in Christ, the new creation has come: the old has gone, the new is here!
All this is from God, who reconciled us to himself through Christ and gave us the ministry of reconciliation: that God was reconciling the world to himself in Christ, not counting people’s sins against them. And he has committed to us the message of reconciliation.
As God’s co-workers, we urge you not to receive God’s grace in vain…(because)…now is the time of God’s favor, now is the day of salvation.
Receive and believe these truths today, wherever you are and for whoever you’re with.
Join us in reading through 2 Corinthians during our relationship series

On July 10, immediately following the 10:30 service, we are going to have a unique service event where we plan to pack at least 10,000 meals for those in need.
Check out these stories of impact.
You can participate by signing up to serve or by giving to meet our $3800 goal (which makes 10,000 meals).
Sign up at the church building or by contacting Erma Shaffer (ermashaffer22@gmail.com).
If you give online, click below & select “Rise Against Hunger.” As of today (June 30), we are just $856 away from our goal! At $.38 per meal, we’re grateful to help meet the needs of neighbors around the globe.
Put it on your calendar and plan to invite a friend to our annual welcome bash! We’ll be bringing both campuses together to celebrate God’s work and world.
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
