Time for Agape' to Begin!
It's that time of year again - Agape will begin on September 15, 2010 from 6:00 – 7:00. 
We are looking for kids age preschool through sixth grade who want to know more about Jesus, the Bible, and how to spread the Gospel! We have tons of fun at Agape and are hoping to have a fantastic year! If you have never considered teaching or would like to try it out, please sign up. The lessons are easy to follow, and the kids are eager to learn. You only need to teach one evening, or if you are really eager, sign up to teach a few evenings. We will even share our snack with you at the end of the evening. If you would like to sign up for a snack, hurry up. The snack spots go quickly! A sign-up sheet is posted on the bulletin board for teachers and for snacks.
This year we hope to continue with some of our annual projects, such as writing letters for Operation Christmas Child. We also hope to take on some new projects, such as writing letters to servicemen and women. So, please remember to pray for the children of the church and everyone who has a hand in guiding them towards Christ.

VBS NEWS 2010
Camp Son Rock Kids Camp is officially closed for the season. We had a FABULOUS time in the presence of the Lord. It was a hot and humid week. The temperatures soared and so did our attendance. We averaged 50 campers every night. One of our largest VBS' yet. We were dancing and singing about "Walking on Water," making garden stones and learning how to 'Fish for men' in the tent outside the church. Then we cooled down with water balloon races and s'mores trail mix and milk. As the number of campers added up so did our mission pennies. We collected $299 in pennies (6 gallon jars full). Hopefully, next year we can collect 10 jars full. Our offering for the week and for the closing program totaled $399. That will send a lot of school supplies to Afghanistan and help a lot of kids through Child Evangelism.
It was a super week with great kids, fabulous staff and most of all an extraordinary walk with our Lord, Jesus Christ. Thank you again to all who shared their time and talents with the kids and always thanks to the church and congregation for your loving prayers and support.

Rene Temple, VBS Director
