Thank you to everyone who donated to the VBS Mission,
Go Joe 16. We received a thank you email from Joe
Snedeker in which Joe encourages us to “Shine On!” I am
really grateful to be part of such a generous faithcommunity
family. The total donated through our joint
VBS of Stairville and Faith UMC and Emmanuel United
Church of Christ was $575. I have posted the email on
the bulletin board in the bell tower. You make me so
proud to be called a Christian.
[Death, Resurrection Foretold] As Jesus was about to go up to Jerusalem, He took the twelve disciples aside by themselves, and on the road He said to them, “Behold, we are going up to Jerusalem, and the Son of Man will be handed over to the chief priests and scribes, and they will condemn Him to death, and they will hand Him over to the Gentiles to mock and flog and crucify, and on the third day He will be raised up.” — Matthew 20: 17-19 (NASV)
