Summer!

Summer's here for most of us and we've had some fun events already! Here's a peak at what's been happening.....


We were out in full force at the Eaton Antique Car Show! Thank you to Phil and Jessie Hines for our amazing tribute to all of our military, past, present, and future!





The youth were AMAZING!! They worked so hard to provide so many fun games. I can't speak for anyone else, but Lydia and Levi THANK them for literally making their day.





And as the heat rose, so did their ingenuity. They began wheeling coolers of popsicles and water around to the hot crowds. Shelby even turned the apple dunktank into a place to dip hot heads for a dollar :) Way to be creative crew!

The rummage was a great success! Thank you to Jim and Sandy for helping so much, thank you to all who helped set up, and thank you to all who donated. Many were blessed, including a Muncie church who was so excited to get a few boxes of "new" choral music and a few children's tables. God is good!




Speaking of the youth, they had a night of worship last night that I hear was amazing! If anyone has pictures, let me know! For many of the youth, it was their first night of summer break, and they chose to spend their evening worshipping their God! Now THAT is awesome!

While our Wednesday nights are paused for the summer, that does NOT being church is stopped! Use that time to be with family, be with community, visit a nursing home, pick weeds in the park.....church never stops. Be creative! Let me know how you use that time! (jenessaden@yahoo.com) Youth, there is still going to be an open gym time on Wednesdays, 1-4pm.

This morning was the first official story time at the Eaton Public Library and it was a great success!! The doors opened at 10 and we still had readers nearly 2 hours later!


Look at all of the bookworms signed up for the reading program! And this is just day TWO!


Thanks to so many generous donations, we have a full prize cabinet!


How does this all tie into the workings of the church?? Because we ARE the church! And Jesus called us to be in the world. As his hands and feet, when we read to children, have community with them and their family, love them.....we are being His church. All that is done at the library is to show Christ's love without words, and God is doing wonderful things. Please uplift this ministry in your prayers. The grand ending of the reading program will be at our own Back 2 School Bash, which is something to have on your radar! It will be a really great day, and please pray for sunshine this year!! :)
