Sunday Reflections - July 14, 2016

July 14, 2016

Hello Deer Flat Family,

I wanted to scratch out a note before the end of the week and just tell you how much I appreciate your participation in the VOTE last weekend.  I was reminded again of what a tremendous group of people you are. It was an amazingly strong vote! There was a letter sent out this week from the Church Board with the results of the vote and some next steps.  If you did not get that letter, just click here.  I think you’ll really value their wisdom.

Jer and I, along with 22 others are headed to Washington DC for the Christians United For Israel Summit.  There will be thousands gathering from across the US for this event.  We will receive the latest information on what is happening in Israel and the Middle East, and the current climate between the US and Israel.

As usual, we, along with the host of others, will make our trek up to Capitol Hill and visit the office of every elected official.  We will present to them the most important issues regarding Israel and the persecution of Christians.  I believe this will be a significant year.  As you know, this election will have a definite impact on Israel.  I ask you to pray for us as we appeal for pro-Israel legislation.

Our High School Camp has been taking place this week.  We have a record attendance of students this year.  The investment opportunities in the lives of children and students during these camps is nothing short of amazing.  We get to download the biblical truths in them, provide fellowship and friendship, great activities and a spiritual challenge - doing all that we can to anchor them in the faith.  Each of you help make that possible by your giving and your volunteering.  We have teams of people who serve at each camp and we have groups of people to make up the Work Days during Memorial Day weekend and Labor Day weekend.  We couldn’t do it without you!  You guys are making a difference and our prayer is that a Deer Flat Camp at Camp Cascade will create countless changed lives and tremendous memories.

Next week is the Children’s camp.  If you have any interest in volunteering, please let the office know.  We may have a slot or two left to fill.  Again, this is a great thing to keep in your prayers.
Thank you for your faithfulness during these summer months.  God uses you to be such a blessing to Deer Flat!

Loving You and Him,


Pastor D
