This Sunday is Father's Day, and our worship will feature a special tribute to fathers. We will also highlight several of our key projects this summer. A team of Eastgate people will leave on the annual mission Sunday afternoon for their work projects in Joplin, MO and Fayetteville, AR; we will have a special commissioning for them on Sunday. In addition, we will begin signing up volunteers to help deliver lunches to children through the Raytown Summer Lunch Ministry in July and August. Sunday also marks the beginning of registration for Vacation Bible School, which begins on July 29 -- and there will be a signup sheet available for adult volunteers too.
We'll also continue our sermon series about things that Christians today can learn from the early church described in the Acts of the Apostles. This week we'll move into chapter 3, where the apostles Peter and John are going to pray in the Temple and they meet a crippled man begging for money. Instead of money, they heal him, in the name of Jesus, which is a reminder that frequently God uses other Christians to give people what they need, rather than simply what they think they need. In "Not What You Asked For," we'll consider how this is both a challenge and an opportunity for Christians today.
