In VBS, we learn important lessons connecting life and faith….lessons that stay with us our entire lives. Thank you for Jean Ingram and to all of our Big Apple staff for doing a great job in VBS 2011.
This Sunday, Chaplain Darren Stennett will be sharing a message from Psalm 73 about “Slip Sliding Away.” We will be celebrating baptism at the beginning of the mid-morning service.
Also, this is the day we receive our Father’s Day Offering for the Health and Hope Clinic. I invite to join me in bringing a generous gift to help fund this medical ministry of the Pensacola Bay Baptist Association.
