I have bad news if you missed the VBS (Vacation Bible School) program Sunday, or if you saw it, but wanted to see it again. We can’t post it online because of copyright issues. We would need permission from the copyright holder of each individual song. Sorry.

Via Sojourners:
There is, in a word, nothing comfortable about the Bible — until we manage to get so used to it that we make it comfortable for ourselves. But then we are perhaps too used to it and too at home in it. Let us not be too sure we know the Bible … just because we have learned not to have problems with it. Have we perhaps learned … not to really pay attention to it? Have we ceased to question the book and be questioned by it?
— Thomas Merton, Opening the Bible

This years VBS (Vacation Bible School) collected $164 for the Nothing But Nets project. This is enough to purchase 16 insecticide treated mosquito nets to help prevent malaria. You can learn more at nothingbutnets.net.

The United Methodist News Service has a great commentary by Rev. Tina Carter, who holds a Ph.D. in environmental chemistry, on the excessive confidence we often place in scientists and engineers.

We still need donations for Pack Their Packs. We’ll be receiving a special offering this coming Sunday and the Sunday following. In addition there is always a donation box (for money) and a shopping cart (for school supplies) in the lobby. This is a great mission project that makes sure that hundreds (650 last year) of kids have the supplies they need for a successful school year. Please prayerfully consider contributing to this great cause.

We’ll be celebrating VBS (Vacation Bible School) this coming Sunday, July 18, 2010. We have about 17 kids signed up to help with the worship services. It promises to be a fun, if slightly stressful, Sunday. Hope to see you there.

The church office will be closed this afternoon, July 16, 2010, because Linda Beever, church secretary, has a dental appointment.

From left to right: Emma Pool, Michaela Nolen, and Elizabeth Collins.
Attendance at VBS (Vacation Bible School) has been averaging about 34 kids per day this year. (The drop in numbers from last year can probably be attributed to the fact that last year we did not have VBS the same week as Tyro Christian Church did.) The kids have been great and everything has been running smoothly. The girls to the right are just a few of the cadets who have been having a wonderful time at “Galactic Blast: A Cosmic Adventure in Praising God.” Thanks to everyone who has pitched in to help (and your flexibility in doing so).

Were you disappointed with the Vacation Bible School signs? I was too. We’ll try to do better next year.

Tony Wood brought it to my attention that The Washington Post has an article reviewing Science Vs. Religion: What Scientists Really Think by Elaine Howard Ecklund. It’s only a book review, but still contains some fascinating insights.
