You can register your children online at holytrin.org/vbs or at Holy Trinity your first day.  

   We still need help in many different areas from leading groups to decorating. There is something for everyone! So please talk to Kevin Brockhoff or Cameron Pullmann and let them know how you want to help!

LIFE QUOTES

  “We cannot read the history of our rise and development as a nation, without reckoning with the place the Bible has occupied in shaping the advances of the Republic … Where we have been the truest and most consistent in obeying its precepts, we have attained the greatest measure of contentment and prosperity.” Franklin Delano Roosevelt, October 6, 1935 – A Life Quote from Lutherans For Life • www.lutheransforlife.org

SAMARITAN CENTER BACKPACK EVENT

NEWS FROM CAMP PETIT JEAN:

  The Lutheran Camp on Petit Jean still has space for additional campers in upcoming sessions for every grade level, but not for long. Pathfinders (for children entering grades 2-4) begins this Wednesday, July 6; Voyagers (entering grades 8-12) begins July 10; Trailblazers (grades 5-8) begins July 17.

   This year the camp has added a two-night Family Camp July 24-26. Family Camp is designed especially for families with children age 8 or under. The whole family can participate but the activities will be geared toward younger children. To register or learn more, visit the camp website: lutherancamp.org.

   The first four sessions of camp have been a blast. To see pictures, visit the Facebook page Lutheran Camp on Petit Jean Mountain. (And “like” it while you’re there!)

OFFICE NOTE:  Several of our church members have attended this camp this year and had a GREAT time!  They say it’s comparable to Camp War Eagle! 

THANK YOU

  Thank you for your prayers for my grandson, Gavin Rodgers, who was honorably discharged last Monday after 4 years in the Marines.  He has arrived in Branson, MO. where he will attend the community college and attempt to turn his hobby of bull riding into a profession.  Please continue with your prayers.

WINDSHIELD WIPER AND A CHILD

   From the mouths of babes.  It's all so clear to them. Driving in the rain will never be quite the same.........

   One rainy afternoon I was driving along one of the main streets of town, taking those extra precautions necessary when the roads are wet and slick.  Suddenly, my son Matthew spoke up from his relaxed position in the front seat.   “Mom, I'm thinking of something.”  This announcement usually meant he had been pondering some fact for a while and was now ready to expound all that his seven-year-old mind had discovered.  I was eager to hear. “What are you thinking?” I asked.  “The rain,” he began, “is like sin and the windshield wipers are like God, wiping our sins away.”

   After the chill bumps raced up my arms I was able to respond.  “That's really good, Matthew.”  Then my curiosity broke in.  How far would this little boy take this revelation?  So I asked... “Do you notice how the rain keeps on coming?  What does that tell you?”   Matthew didn't hesitate one moment with his answer: “We keep on sinning, and God just keeps on forgiving us.”

   Who can drive in the rain again without thinking of this???
