Classes for 3 year olds - Adults
Pre-registration forms are on the kiosk
I'm not sure where the term...Vacation Bible School came from. I'm not even sure what it means. But I do know what it does. VBS is a wonderful effort and a great opportunity for a church to reach out into the community with stories from God's word, and share them with many children outside the church family. This in turn gives us a chance to reach into other homes in our community. Our own kids get to enjoy and learn from these special lessons as well, and to interact and spread their Christian influence.
One week from tomorrow, July 23rd, our VBS will begin at 9:00am. Lots of preparation has been going on for some time now; teachers are preparing lessons, craft work and art work are being done, building decorations are being completed. We are so thankful for willing workers in the Lord's Family here at Dalton.
Everyone is invited to be a part of God's family. This year's VBS Veggie Town theme is designed to teach values, and ways to build and strengthen relationships in our families....at home, at church, and in the world. We will have classes for 3 year olds through 6th grade, and also an adult class. Teenagers will be helpers in various capacities to assist with the younger children. We will not have a nursery class for the children under three.
There will be a special program on Thursday night to share with parents and all of us the lessons learned and the joys shared by all our VBS participants. Everyone is welcome at 7pm.

Mike's Memos
CHOOSE YOUR ATTITUDE....
is the eighth principle in our Bible Study series from the book of Philippians. In our discussion of that principle, we talked about the difficulty of choosing a good attitude while allowing our minds to be filled with the "stuff" of the world. There is little question that our environment, and the things which we choose as our mental diet will have a decided effect on our attitudes. As Christians, our desire should be, like Christ, to reflect the image of our Creator. As the moon is positioned to receive and then reflect the sun's light, we must position ourselves to reflect the Son's light. We cannot do this if we hide behind clouds of evil. As Jesus said in Matthew 12:34-35, "How can you who are evil say anything good? For out of the overflow of the heart the mouth speaks. The good man brings good things out of the good stored up in him, and the evil man brings evil things out of the evil stored up in him." QUESTION - What are you storing up?
I believe we are far to willing to allow, through television, magazines, books, and newspapers, the evils of our culture to fill our minds with dark clouds which block our reflection of the Son's light, and results in attitudes unbecoming of a Christian. We read materials, and watch the talk shows and TV shows whose sole purpose is to spread the latest gossip about government leaders, and celebrities. Its greatest appeal is to discuss, and dramatize the horrible, sensational problems of sick people and their relationships. If that is our diet, how can we choose good attitudes, and how can we reflect the image of God?
In Philippians 4:8 Paul said, "Whatever is true, noble, right, pure, lovely, admirable - if anything is excellent or praiseworthy - think about such things." This describes the kind of diet we should desire and allow as God's children. You cannot consume garbage and expect to reflect Christ. We must refuse to ingest, in any form, the diluted morality of our society, and instead, drink deeply from the fountain of God...reflecting the beautiful character of his Son, Jesus Christ. Amen?

Our new 4 week PRAYER MINISTRY class began with Ray Rayburn. It is designed for all adults of the congregation. If anyone missed it, I hope you will plan to be present for the next two class sessions.This Wednesday night, Dave Shaner will begin a new class called "SHARING JESUS". Every adult member of this church should be present. Are you figuring on how you can be there, or are you figuring on excuses? Let's get serious about sharing Jesus with others.
