Sunday Reflections - May 19, 2016

AN EXCITING SUMMER AWAITS YOU AT DEER FLAT

HELLO DEER FLAT FAMILY!

I know it’s hard to believe but Summer is knocking at our door. This is one of the greatest times of the year. Long warm days, vacation, grazing through the fruit season, camping, BBQ’s, Vacation Bible School, and so much more. Let me tell you about just a few of the things coming this summer at Deer Flat.

#1 – VACATION BIBLE SCHOOL – This begins on June 13th. This week is one of the most powerful and fun filled weeks in the life of the church, because it is all about the kids. Hundreds of kids will file through our doors to learn about the God of the Bible. They will make friends, have fun, laugh and learn. We will spoil them and they will “nag” you to bring them back. So bring your kids, invite your neighbors, bring your grandchildren, pick up some strays - and let us blanket them with love and make a deposit in them that will last for eternity. Julie and her team are ready to go.

#2 – JUNE 12th “108 YEARS LATER” - Whatever you do, don’t miss this special Sunday! We are 108 years old this year. THIS PARTICULAR SUNDAY WE ARE GOING TO ROLL OUT A PHENOMENAL GLIMPSE OF OUR FUTURE. I will be making an announcement about a major thing that God has lead us to. I promise you, this could lead us into the greatest days in the history of Deer Flat Church. I’m asking you to make this date a priority and not let anything get in the way. This is a super important day for the church family. We’ll celebrate about what God has been doing and then take a look at some amazing possibilities worth our consideration!

#3 – DARING FAITH – Have you ever believed God for the impossible? That takes some real dedication and ridiculous faith. During June, we’ll be taking a look at some people who were faced with overwhelming odds and see how their faith paid some huge dividends. This is going to be a great series for us as a congregation.

#4 – SUMMER CAMPS – Some of the most significant high memory making moments in the lives of people were the experiences that they had while attending a summer camp while they were young. This summer provides that same opportunity for all who attend our summer camps at Camp Cascade.  Children through seniors in high school will have a chance to make friends, enjoy the outdoors, and be exposed to great spiritual moments as they attend these special weeks set aside for the various age groups. You can get all of the information about these camps for your children and students by simply going to www.deerflat.org. This will be an investment you’ll never regret - and a quality of camp that you’ll really appreciate.

As you can see, there is a tremendous summer that awaits us at Deer Flat.  I can’t wait to see you this Sunday. Why not include a friend in these special opportunities! I Love My Church!
