Brothers in Baptism

 

Pastor Ken Webster reports, "It was another awesome week at Lower Providence Baptist Church as we welcomed two new members. My brother-in-law through baptism and another young man through transfer of membership from his former church. As a symbolic measure, I always add a little Jordan River water to the baptistry. God continues to do a mighty work among us."

Operation x2

 

Pastor Clint [ FBC Shinglehouse ] reports on a life-size Operation Game they had at the County Fair. The congregation had 12 teams of 2 each staffing the booth during the week. It was a great opportunity to introduce the community to the church and Operation Christmas Child while offering fair-goers a chance to play the classic game BIG way!

Camp Judson @ 75

 

An amazing day at Camp Judson celebrating 75 years of faithful ministry to generations of campers. So good to see so many people attending who had been blessed by the camp in their faith walk and to hear about how, "Jesus changes lives at Camp Judson."

Day Camp Fun

 

GraceCrossing Community Church wraps up a week-long free day camp offered to the community thanks to ABCOPAD grant funding! Starting at 7:30 am and running until 5pm on Monday through Friday, this camp offered Bible lessons, arts and crafts, games, interactive lessons by special guest artists, and life-skills training (not to mention breakfast, lunch and snacks!) This is the second year we have offered this to the community free of charge and registration filled up fast with repeat attendees from last year. Few of these students attend church anywhere else so this was their first exposure to the Gospel! Kudos to our volunteers who took timely off work to make this happen!
