Summer VacationDo you remember the feeling of getting off the bus on

the last day of school when you were a child? i can remember when the summer felt like it lasted for years. What a great feeling.

it was a sense of eternal bliss. no responsibility, nothing you had to do, a whole summer of fun and friends. There is something wonderful about childhood. For me, a vacation is sort of like a return to those days. it is a way of fooling yourself into believing you have no responsibilities for at least a few days. i imagine heaven will be a place where responsibility will come with the joy of a vacation, so what we do will be a complete joy and we won’t ever grow tired or weary. unfortunately, ever since adam sinned our work wears us out. That’s why God told us to take breaks.

it’s interesting that the book of leviticus helps the people of israel establish a healthy calendar including times of refreshment. even thousands of years ago, families took breaks and went on trips to celebrate God. i would like to encourage you to take some time off this summer from life’s normal pace to get some rest. i hope you will take time with the ones you love to really have fun and enjoy the world God has blessed us with. When you get that great feeling that you sometimes get on vacation, stop and thank God that he has given joy and rest and remember that one day all we do will be refreshing.

i hope you have a blessed summer,

For Christ and his Kingdom,

Pastor Eddie

VBSServevBsserve is an opportunity for our youth to serve the children of Trinity Baptist Church and our community on June 25-29, 2012. i am sharing this with you now so that you may begin considering whether or not this is something your student may attend to assist in leading. i am committed to partnering with Brenda Willis (Director of Children’s Ministries) and Kristine hoskins (Director of Preschool Ministries) as they lead this event and in a perfect scenario, we will be able to use as many as 50 youth in assisting in diff erent areas. in addition, there will be training time for vBs for our students on Thursday, June 21 at Trinity Baptist Church. so, this is a big commitment, but one that is worth our eff orts, in my opinion. i hope your son or daughter will consider helping assist us with this tremendous outreach opportunity. For more info contact, pastor Bryant at blaird@tbccayce.com

The second night is July 31st and our own Cherie nettles will be leading us in laughter that evening. The theme verse for both nights is proverbs 17:22. Take the time to look it up and then come to Take-away Tuesdays.
