FALLS CREEK IS HERE

John 4:13-14

New International Version (NIV)
13 Jesus answered, “Everyone who drinks this water will be thirsty again, 14 but whoever drinks the water I give them will never thirst. Indeed, the water I give them will become in them a spring of water welling up to eternal life.”

The time is finally here! We leave in 6 days for Falls Creek. June 3rd at 8:57 am we will depart Mehan Union Church for an isolated dedicated encounter with God.

Tonight Wednesday the 29th we will have normal service at church Meal at 6. Thursday and Friday n night we will also meet at church at 6 for food, games and worship. Do to the threat of severe weather again we will be staying at the church. Saturday though we are looking at an opportunity to go out with the Kids during the day and we will go to Di and Glen Spiva's for supper that night. As soon as we get all the details involved for Saturday we will get those to you.

Krista and I would like to thank you all for your love and support. God  has truly surrounded us with a great Church family. We love the kids that have been placed in our lives. We love their parents and families that encourage them and that encourages us.

We truly feel that God's blessing is all over us. We give God all the Glory. Everything we do is to point others to Christ as we draw closer to Him our selves.

2 Corinthians 4 Present Weakness and Resurrection Life

Therefore, since through God’s mercy we have this ministry, we do not lose heart. Rather, we have renounced secret and shameful ways; we do not use deception, nor do we distort the word of God. On the contrary, by setting forth the truth plainly we commend ourselves to everyone’s conscience in the sight of God. And even if our gospel is veiled, it is veiled to those who are perishing. The god of this age has blinded the minds of unbelievers, so that they cannot see the light of the gospel that displays the glory of Christ, who is the image of God. For what we preach is not ourselves, but Jesus Christ as Lord, and ourselves as your servants for Jesus’ sake. For God, who said, “Let light shine out of darkness,”[a] made his light shine in our hearts to give us the light of the knowledge of God’s glory displayed in the face of Christ.
 

Feel free to call us anytime- Love David, Krista, and the boys. And all the Youth Ministry staff.

Impotant Falls Creek Info & Church 101


Last Wednesday, the 15th, we started a 3 week journey investigating the church. What did the "Church" look like in the times right after Christ ascended? Acts 2 gives some great basic ideas of the Church.

I am very excited to continue down this path, learning about the church.

The Youth Group will meet the next two Wednesday's the 22nd and the 29th, this is 7th through 12th grade. ALSO-- WE WILL HAVE ACTIVITIES THE 30TH, 31ST, AND THE MYSTERY TRIP ON THE 1ST. You wont want to miss this amazing time together before we go to the Creek. Everyone that can, needs to make the activity on the 1st. We'll get more details out soon.

I am so excited about Church these days, God continues to grow us! He continues to send new faces and He continues to reveal Himself every week.  Did I mention I'm excited about church?

This is an exciting time to be apart of Mehan Union Church-

We are Family. We are Community. We are the Church.
We Love God and We Love People
