Bible Passage for the Month
“Truly, truly, I say to you, unless a grain of wheat falls into the earth and dies, it remains alone; but if it dies, it bears much fruit. Whoever loves his life loses it, and whoever hates his life in this world will keep it for eternal life.” John 12:24-25

Please join us to honor her faithful work among us. (Sunday School will meet as usual; Bible Class will start late.)

SUMMER CAMP: We are excited to announce that summer camp is off and running with approximately 40 campers enrolled. With the hot weather upon us the children have enjoyed all the water activities, including the blow-up water slide which has been a huge success! The last couple of weeks the children have been busy with planting grass head faces, making Father’s Day gifts, and pretending to be super heroes flying through the air in the bouncy house. Lots of fun themes ahead, you can check us out on facebook at (St Lucas Early Childhood Center), and as always keep us in your prayers for a safe and fun summer.

JULY NEWSLETTER: There will be no newsletter for July. The calendar will be available on the website or in the narthex. Those serving for the month will be sent the schedule by email or will also be available in the narthex.
