Mission Chapel
We have had a busy and blessed couple of months. We had a blast
during VBS at Breaker Rock Beach with a record number in
attendance. It was a joy to watch the kids bring their offering each
night along with snacks which were donated to CASA of Southwest
Missouri. CASA of Southwest Missouri is a private, nonprofit
organization that recruits, trains and supports community volunteers
who assist the court in protecting the best interests of abused and
neglected children in Southwest Missouri. We greatly enjoyed kids
fishing day and want to say thank you to all those who made the day
possible. July was a month of celebrations as we had a 4th of July
celebration with a worship service, food, and fireworks, 2 weddings,
and a baby shower. Several of our kids and youth participated in the
local fairs exhibiting their animals, and we are proud of their hard
work. We continue to have our quarterly game nights at church which
are always a good time. We have several members on the associational
mission trip to Paducah, Kentucky right now. Please be in prayer for
this trip.
