June's Focus: Hope Beyond Today .... Reflecting on the Promise of Eternal Life.

Beloved Church Family,

As we step into the month of June, my heart is filled with gratitude for the God who anchors us, not only in the joys of today but in the eternal hope He has promised. Our theme this month, Hope Beyond Today, reminds us that while seasons change. Christ remains steady, faithful, and sure. Eternal life is not just a distant promise; it is a present assurance that shapes how we live, love, and serve right now.

This month is full of opportunities to worship, celebrate, and grow together as a family of faith. Today, Sunday, June 7 Baptism & Communion Service at 5:00 PM. What a joy it is to witness lives publicly declaring their faith in Christ. Baptism reminds us of the new life we have in Him, and communion draws us back to the sacrifice that made that life possible. I invite you to join us this evening as we celebrate these sacred moments together.

Vacation Bible School ... Monday, June 15 - Wednesday, June 17 5:30 PM - 8:30 PM nightly. VBS is always a highlight of our summer. Let's surround our children with love, encouragement, and the truth of God's Word. Invite families, neighbors, and friends, there is room for every child to encounter Jesus in a joyful, life-changing way.

Juneteenth ... Friday, June 19 Juneteenth is a day of remembrance, reflection, and rejoicing. As a church, we honor the significance of this day, celebrating freedom, acknowledging the painful chapters of our history, and committing ourselves to walk in unity, justice, and love. Christ calls us to be a people who remember, who reconcile, and who reflect His heart for all humanity.

Father's Day ... Sunday, June 21. We look forward to celebrating all fathers, grandfathers, father figures, and mentors who pour strength, wisdom, and love into our lives. Join us as we honor the men who lead with faith and serve with humanity.

A Month of Hope ... As we move through June, let us keep our eyes fixed on the external hope that is ours in Christ. No matter what we face, we are anchored in a Savior who has overcome the world. Let this truth steady your heart, strengthen your faith, and inspire you to live boldly for Him.

Church family, I am praying for you. May this month be filled with God's presence, God's peace, and God's promise.

With love and blessings,

Pastor
