Memorial Day
Memorial Day is a United States federal holiday that is observed on the final Monday of May this year Memorial Day is celebrated on May 28th. It was formerly known as Decoration Day. This holiday honors U.S. men and women who have died in military service for our country. It first began to honor Union soldiers who died during the American Civil War. After World War I, it expanded to include all who died in any war or military action. One of the longest standing traditions on Memorial Day is the running of the Indianapolis 500, which has been held in conjunction with Memorial Day since 1911. Although most get the day off of work and plan fun filled loong weekends, just make sure to take the time to think about and honor all of the soldiers who have died for your country and make freedom possible.
Vacation Bible School
“Sonforce Kids” is the theme this year for Vacation Bible School. Following this theme the kids will act as Sonforce special agents and will follow in the words of Joshua 1:9: Be strong and courageous. Do not be terrified: do not be discouraged, for the Lord your God will be with you wherever you go. The five daily missions for this week are as follows: Trust! Unite! Train! Follow! And Lead! This year’s vacation bible school should be a fun filled adventure from the very start!
