Hey Wildwood Family!
Greetings to everyone on this sunny day! Well, things are quieter now at the church facility. VBS 2024 is completed (but cleanup is under way). A very special ‘Thank You’ to the 300+ volunteers who made this VBS a joy for some 600+ children. It was a joy interacting with the kids and parents this week. Today (Friday) I greeted one young family and said, Welcome to the last day of VBS. Their daughter immediately responded: I wish VBS was every day! Another spoke with her normal WCC SS teacher and said she probably won’t be in SS on Sunday. She plans to be at VBS again!😉
And a very BIG shout out to Children’s Pastor Brooke Harrison and her children’s team for ALL the invested energy and creativity to make VBS a joy for kids, while also teaching the gospel and leading our next generation in worship of the living God. Great work, all!! Pray for the seeds that were planted to blossom in a big way.
On Sunday I will be launching a June series I’ve entitled Foreshadows of the 2nd Coming of Jesus. The noun foreshadow refers to ‘an indicator of what is to come.’ Too often it seems folks will label Bible prophecy as confusing, and maybe even as uninteresting. Yet Scripture contains SO much prophecy about future events and the Second Coming of Jesus.
This Sunday’s message will focus on how Israel’s rebirth as a nation is a key sign of the nearness of Jesus’ 2nd Coming. We will be looking at multiple Scriptures and will also offer some insight into the current issues and events we’ve all heard about recently. I think you will find this message to be profitable.
Also on Sunday, we will share an update on the prospect of Jon Dunton joining Wildwood’s pastoral staff. God is at work, men and women!
See you Sunday!
