Vacation Bible School Shipwrecked - Rescued by Jesus Monday, June 4, children will enter our church doors and find themselves in the midst of a shipwrecked island, where they will come to discover that all our hope is in Jesus! We have so many fun things planned to enjoy with them, as we share stories from the Bible that point to how Jesus rescues us in moments of weakness, guilt, loneliness, and fear. We can hardly wait to experience the excitement and energy that fill this place when several hundred people enter into an environment of childlike faith. Worship, prayer, and witness collide with wonder, discovery, and enthusiasm, all for one purpose: leading children to Jesus. This one week could be the only time some children see or encounter Jesus all summer. Don’t miss out on this opportunity to transform lives. Adult volunteers are still needed, so please come serve alongside us. Thank you for the generous response to our request for donated household items being used for decorating purposes. VBS decorating begins this week during the following scheduled times. Tuesday, May 29, 10AM-1PM and 5PM-7PM, Wednesday, May 30, 3PM-8PM, Thursday, May 31, 10AM-1PM and 5PM-7PM, and Friday, June 1, 10AM-1PM. Please drop by and join us! Your help is greatly appreciated. Children in rising Pre-K through rising 6th Grade are invited to participate in Vacation Bible School, Monday-Friday, June 4-8, 9AM-12PM. Please visit www.statesborofirst.com/vbs to preregister children. There are advantages to early registration, and we strongly encourage it in order to save time and help eliminate long lines on the first day. Finally, we ask for prayers over our church, volunteers, children, families, staff, and all those serving and contributing to VBS. It’s going to be a great week! Thank you for your continued support of our Children’s Ministry. Sarah Akins Director of Children’s Ministries

Statesboro First United Methodist Church Thank You Church Family for Your Support “Transformation Project” in Motion to Exceed Our Expectations Thank you so much for all of you that have contributed to this “Transformation Project” so far. Last Sunday between our checks, cash and pledges, we raised over $23,000 dollars, bringing our total to $48,958.93. We are so thankful for your generosity and your support in spreading the word. Our goal is $65,000 so we still are asking for all of our church family to think about contributing something. Please consider praying about what amount could “I sacrifice” for one week and put in the offering this week to help make a difference in the Fellowship Hall. The one room that is used more than any other room in our church to change the lives of so many people at all ages! Please join us in making this happen. We are all trying to do our part in so many ways so God can show us what HE CAN AND WILL DO!!
