DEVOTION: 2 Corinthians 4:5-12 English Standard Version (ESV)
5 For what we proclaim is not ourselves, but Jesus Christ as Lord, with ourselves as your servants[a] for Jesus' sake. 6 For God, who said, "Let light shine out of darkness," has shone in our hearts to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ.
7 But we have this treasure in jars of clay, to show that the surpassing power belongs to God and not to us. 8 We are afflicted in every way, but not crushed; perplexed, but not driven to despair; 9 persecuted, but not forsaken; struck down, but not destroyed; 10 always carrying in the body the death of Jesus, so that the life of Jesus may also be manifested in our bodies. 11 For we who live are always being given over to death for Jesus' sake, so that the life of Jesus also may be manifested in our mortal flesh. 12 So death is at work in us, but life in you.

"DISCIPLE MAKERS" NIGHTS BEGIN JUNE 6 AT CHURCH!!
On June 6 everyone who wants to have fun learning the Scriptures with songs, skits, arts and crafts, and small groups will meet upstairs in the overflow at 6:30pm! This is a fun, fast-paced, exciting opportunity to grow as a church family and grow in our own individual faith! I'm looking forward to it!! Please join us!
Please come in the preschool doors and go up the stairs.
Our main focus in this is having the adults teach the kids the faith, but as we have all experienced, sometimes kids do a great job of teaching adults the faith too! We want parents and grandparents to stay with the kids! We want other adults of all ages to come and participate! IT IS FOR OUR WHOLE CHURCH FAMILY!!! Come and enjoy fun, fellowship, and God's Word!
