Our guest speaker on Sunday is Bryan Bridel, who is a Father to three wonderful children: Sandra, Tim and James. He is also a dog dad and husband to Jeanne. Bryan, a strong man of faith, will lead us in God’s word on this special Sunday celebrating all dads! Happy Father’s Day!

The United Women in Faith will be making a donation in Honor of Fathers Day and the Men of our Church to VFW Post 5043. Thank you all for your service.

Romans 8:22-30

John 3:16-21

Bible Gateway passage: Romans 8:22-30 - New International Reader's Version

We know that all that God created has been groaning. It is in pain as if it were giving birth to a child. The created world continues to groan even now. And that's not all. We have the Holy Spirit as the promise of future blessing. But we also groan inside ourselves.

Bible Gateway passage: John 3:16-21 - New International Reader's Version

God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son. Anyone who believes in him will not die but will have eternal life. God did not send his Son into the world to judge the world. He sent his Son to save the world through him.

PINEYS at PLAY ~ FOREST PLAY GROUP

Contact: Felicia Lisitski with Questions

PINEYS at PLAY meets on the FIRST and THIRD WEDNESDAYS in BATSTO VILLAGE at 10:00 AM. Parents are encouraged to bring their littles AGE 0-12 for ADVENTURES!

FROM FELICIA: I’m beyond excited to officially announce I’ll be starting up a playgroup this June! Pineys at Play - A Forest Playgroup is a FREE playgroup for children (ages 0-12) to gather, explore in nature, and for caregivers to connect, all while spending time outdoors with the community! Each week, we will go on a short hike in the pine barrens. The children will enjoy using their whole bodies to explore the forest by stepping over logs, collecting pine cones, and navigating the trails. After our hike, we will enjoy a snack before child-led free play. This may vary week to week, especially as the children learn the park and discover new activities like skipping rocks, building with natural materials, and rolling down hills—just being kids! Play clothes are recommended for this messy fun. Some weeks, additional materials like buckets, spoons, and magnifying glasses will be provided to spark imagination and curiosity. The playgroup will be held rain or shine every first and third Wednesday of the month. Dress accordingly for the weather. Please message for meeting details and let the forest adventures begin!
