Journey Student Min ist r ies It is hard to believe that July is upon

us. As I write this we are

preparing for the family mission trip

to West Virginia. Please be in prayer

for the team as a whole and the

students who are preparing for this

trip.

July is going to be a busy month

with the mission trip, 4H fair, and

VBS. I am so proud of the way our

students have stepped up and

volunteered to serve in various ways

during the week of VBS. We are

truly blessed with a great bunch of

students.

Please continue to lift our recent graduates in prayer as well. For many of these students this summer will

be very bitter sweet. A number of students are headed away for school, some will be transitioning to the

work force, others are enlisting in the military. Regardless of the direction each student faces many new

challenges ahead and will need the support and prayers of their church family.

A Look Ahead:A Look Ahead:A Look Ahead:A Look Ahead:

Community Groups – During the summer months

middle and high school students will be meeting

together. In the fall we will re-launch!

Helping in Hobart mission trip - Sign up in the

Connection Center. We had a blast during this

mission trip last year and you will not want to miss

this opportunity. This trip is for students and their

families. Students whose families cannot come are

still welcome!

Back to School/Gross Game Olympics – one of our most memorable events the Gross Game Olympics is

always filled with laughter and fun. What better way to kick off a new school year and welcome incoming

6th grade students

God Bless,

Pastor Scott
