Dear Friends,

 Join us at Grace this Sunday to hear Jordan Lichty preach one more time before he leaves us later this month.  His message is entitled “Love Wins” and is based on the story of Zacchaeus found in Luke 19:1-10. (By the way, that’s a picture of a sycamore tree above.)  Come and support this young man who has done such a great job ministering to our youth over the past year.  Special music will be provided by our soloist, Amy Bocklet.  I’m looking forward to sharing a unique Children’s Chat with our kids based on the story of Zacchaeus.

It’s time for the Reach Workcamp!  Twelve of our youth and their leaders are heading to Crossville, TN a week from Saturday, July 15 and will return on July 22.  Please see this Sunday’s bulletin for a complete list of the participants and for a special prayer list to be used by our members and friends on July 18.

Vacation Bible School is coming!  This year’s VBS will take place from Friday, July 28 to Sunday, July 30.  Sign up with Casey Brookes (cbrookes@gbcbb.org) if you would like to attend.  We still need adult volunteers so talk to Casey if you can help.

The summer “Secret Place” is still available at the Welcome Center.  Copies are $.50 each.  Please put your payment in the receptacle.

Hope you are enjoying your summer.  If you’re in town, I look forward to seeing you this Sunday!

 See You in Church,

Pastor George
