5th Annual Good Friday Outdoor Worship Service & Picnic
Every year we gather at Pastor’s House* to eat, fellowship, and worship on Good Friday. Good Friday is a day to remember the sacrifice Jesus made on that cross and to look forward to Easter Sunday because we know that our Redeemer lives. Please join us for a picnic (potluck style- bring a side dish to share) outside followed by an outdoor worship service with music, prayer, and a sermon. This has become a beautiful tradition that our church family looks forward to.
*If you do not have Pastor’s address, please contact us or look in your Sunday bulletin.

Vacation Bible School
Prepare to swing into fun as we head out on The Great Jungle Journey!
Every day, our kids are bombarded with questions: Did God really create everything? Why do bad things happen? Was Noah’s ark real? Why do I need to be saved? Can I trust the Bible?
At this VBS, your kids will explore the biblical answers to these questions as they set off on an epic adventure from Genesis to Revelation. Amid sloths, butterflies, river dolphins, and dart frogs, your children will sail along on a fun jungle cruise, stopping at seven ports of call. These ports are the 7 C’s of History: Creation, Corruption, Catastrophe, Confusion, Christ, Cross, and Consummation. Kids will discover how these events shape our world, and they will learn to reconnect the Bible to their everyday life.
At VBS, your kids will enjoy music, games, crafts, bible time, dinner, and more!

Vote NO on Amendment 4
On November 5th, Election Day, you will have the opportunity to vote on an amendment that will enshrine abortion “rights” into our Florida Constitution. Amendment 4 is deceptive, it takes away parental consent, it allows for abortion up to the point of birth, and is extreme. As Christians, we are called to fight for the innocent. Unborn children should be protected in their mother’s womb. www.onemorechild.org/voteno

Day of the Christian Martyr
In June 2014, militants from the self-proclaimed Islamic State (ISIS) advanced across Syria and northern Iraq. As they entered each village, they marked Christians’ homes and businesses with the Arabic letter “N” or نِ for “Nazarene.”
This symbol served to identify and threaten Christians, who then had a difficult decision to make: covert to Islam, leave, or be killed. More than 100,000 Christians were forced to flee in stifling heat. Most escaped with only the clothes on their backs, and many died on the road or were taken by ISIS.
Separated from their loved ones, these bold Christians refused to deny Christ. They were willing to give everything for their Savior who had given His life for them.
According to church tradition, June 29th marks the martyrdom of the Apostle Paul. This month, join Christians around the world to honor the faithful witness of those who, like Paul, have sacrificed their lives for the advancement of the gospel. And be inspired to have that same boldness to share Christ in your community.
May we be inspired by their examples, confidently proclaiming Christ at any cost.
Gear-Up Florida
It’s time for our annual hosting of the Gear-up Florida cyclists team who bike the length of Florida in just 2 weeks! Since 1997, over 500 Pi Kappa Phi men have participated in Gear Up Florida. Each year, the team raises over $80,000 to benefit people with disabilities. Gear Up Florida was created with one mission in mind: to reach out to as many people as possible across the state of Florida, spreading a message of acceptance and understanding on behalf of people with disabilities. Gear Up Florida has served that mission well by creating an event that is touted as "The best two weeks of programming The Ability Experience has to offer." Each year, we host the team and provide them with a BIG home-style cooked meal for lunch, and provide swimming/showers, meals, and sleeping quarters for one of their stops in Central Florida. Please consider bringing a dish to share and joining us as we fellowship with the team and share the love of Christ with others.
