Water, Worship, & Missions


Parents and Students,
The month of June has been awesome. Summer Camp at Shocco Springs in Alabama was once again an amazing time. We had several students make professions of faith in Jesus Christ and several students who rededicated their lives. It was a powerful time and very special to me and our adult student team.
The month of July is going to be insane! We have a College/Career Rafting trip planned 5-6th, a canoe trip for our whole youth group on the 10th, a night of worship lead by Aaron Keyes and Dave Rhodes on the 17th, and then a mission trip to Jackson,MS to work with Eric Smith at NorthRidge Church July 23-25th.

The cost for these different trips will be posted in the worship bulletin each Sunday so be sure to get one so you'll have all the information you need (I recently changed the cost of the mission trip). Although there are many activities pulling at your time I encourage you to attend corporate worship during the summer so you can worship the King of kings collectively and stay connected with all the upcoming events appropriately.

The information about the rafting, the canoing, and the night of worship with Aaron Keyes and Dave Rhodes can also be found in the youth room at the information area. With that being said, I want to give a description of the mission trip to you so you can consider your involvement in this great opportunity. We will be helping NorthRidge Church do some servant evangelism activities. These might include: handing out flyers at a soccer or baseball field; handing out sunscreen towelettes or moist towlettes at ball fields with their church info on them. We will also try to hand a door hanger on as many houses as possible. We might be doing a block party at an apartment complex and our people will help run it. We may even hand out bottled water with their church information on it. Basically, we will do whatever the church plant team of NorthRidge wants us to do.

Email, text, or call me if you have any questions about the upcoming events. Thanks for being an active member of the body of Christ at GCBC.

2 Corinthians 5:21,
Shannon
