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.
For the Lord Himself will descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel and with the trumpet of God, and the dead in Christ will rise first. Then we who are alive, who remain, will be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air, and so we will always be with the Lord. — 1 Thessalonians 4:16-17 (NASV)
