2013 VBS Recap

Hannah on July 24, 2013

Vacation Bible School! Whew! What a week!

Building from last year, VBS saw an average of 26 more attendees than last year, with many decisions being made for Christ. Elementary-aged children enjoyed stories, lessons and rally times at the church facility; the teenagers had a wonderful week of activities as well, culminating in Destination Unknown at the Stewart’s house on Thursday evening!

All of this was based around the object of sharing the gospel and basic Bible truths with the young people.

Journeys of Grace

Hannah on July 23, 2013

Grace loves adventure. Grace loves to see new places; to do new things. A journey of Grace is not the exception – it is the norm. Grace has been found in all 50 states. Grace is known to many people from many backgrounds, with many stories. And I’m not talking theology here, people – I’m talking about Grace Coulton. Remember, the bubbly, cheerful, stranded-in-Colorado-for-two-days-in-a-blizzard Grace? – yes, THAT Grace!

Fireworks, parades, and cookouts, not to mention red, white and blue: The things Americans todat most closely associate with the Fourth of July have been surprisingly constant since the country’s founding in 1776.

But how Americans have celebrated the Founding Fathers’ breakup with King George III hasn’t always been static, and the choices citizens have made over 237 years offer and indication of where the country has stood socially, politically and culturally.

“It is a barometer of changing American life,” said Matthew Dennis, author of the book “Red, White and Blue Letter Days: An American Calendar.”

Here’s a look at how Fourth of July traditions have changed along with the country.
