Let the creative juices flow...

The church used to be the patron of the arts. Somewhere along the way, we decided that art and beauty no longer held and important place in our church. That's a tragedy...

VOX is committed to beauty, to artistic expressions of creativity. Join us tomorrow night (Thursday, July 20) for a celebration of beauty and creativity. There will be a small exhibit of VOX artists' work, plust a bunch of stations for everyone to create.

7pm, The Wherehouse in Archbold. See you there!

Help a pastor out...

Drew and Bekah Moser are organizing a garage sale to help them raise money for their adoption. They are adopting a little girl from Guatemala, and the cost, when all is said and done, is $30,000.

Here's how you can help:
1. Go through your closets, junk drawers, storage bins, etc., and pull out all the stuff you don't use, you don't need, you don't want.
2. Bring it to Drew and Bekah's house (602 Brussel St., Archbold) or Drew's Office (Evangelical Mennonite Church, 300 Park St. Archbold).
3. Tell others to do the same.

The garage sale will probably be sometime in August or early September to take advantage of the good weather.

Thanks for being a part of the miracle of adoption.

By the way, if you want to read more about Drew and Bekah's adoption journey, check out their adoption blog here.

The Prayer Room...

The Prayer Room will be closed tonight, Monday, June 19, due to some work being done on the Wherehouse.

Peace,

Drew
