Hello! It’s JULY and we’ve had so much going on! Vacation Bible School was wonderful! The people we have in our Rockport Family have always traditionally been some of the best volunteers in the world…and this year is definitely no exception! I have to thank all of you who had anything to do with our VBS this year! Whether you were a teacher, or donated things to the cause, or volunteered to do other classes or cooking – or ANYTHING, it was a great time… and I am excited for next year! I truly couldn’t have done it without any of you, with me coming in so close to VBS week- Thanks for your patience as I settled in that week!
Coming up we are going to have a VBS Reunion Cookout – families and volunteers will all be invited to join us on July 28th from 6 to 8pm… Hot Dogs and Fun!
We have also begun or New Mission Project, which will be Church-wide, all of us working together a team to do something good in the world…imagine everything can get done together! Our New Mission this year is called the Zoe Ministry. If you would like to learn more on your own about Zoe Ministry the web site is: http://www.zoeministry.org/
“In Many African Countries orphaned children are raising their brothers and sisters due to the HIV/AIDS pandemic. In response, ZOE Ministry shares the Love of Christ and gives hope to vulnerable children in Zimbabwe, Zambia, Kenya, and Rwanda through:
Giving Hope Empowerment Project
Training in farming, animal husbandry, vocational skills, income-generating activities, HIV/AIDS education, health and hygiene. The training frees orphans from poverty and dependency within 2-3 years in the program.
Relief Ministry
Including food, school fees, clothing, clean water, and medical care.”
We are hoping to schedule someone to come in to give us a presentation about Zoe Ministry this fall.
Don’t forget our Church Picnic on July 18th!
And on Wednesday, August 11th from 6:30 to 8PM, we will have a summer gathering for kids pre school age thru 6th grade…”Wednesday” School! Come and have fun with us before Sunday School starts!
