This week, we begin with the truth that human beings were created in the image of God to reflect Him within creation. Sin distorted that calling but did not remove it. We still give ourselves to something, and we gradually become like whatever we place at the center of our lives. The question is not whether we worship. The question is what we are becoming through what we worship.

All week they had minecraft themed foods - but on Thursday everything was minecraft - Cubed ham, turkey and various cheeses and the kids loved it (thank you Dena for planning the meals!). One volunteer said commented how good the kids were and fun it was to have the ages mixed up in each group so they could help each other and learn together. It was a great week and Sunday morning the VBS kids will lead us in music with all the songs they learned! Prayer Team: This may be the most important thing that happens on Sunday mornings at Real Life. Our prayer team meets at 9:30 in the Family Room and prays for you, the Sunday service, our volunteers, staff, guests and for transformation as we strive to look more like Jesus ever day. If you have a prayer request please let us know! For more information email Ray Blanket Ministry Team: Our blanket ministry provides blankets as a physical display of God’s love when needed most. Blankets are donated to those in the hospital or baby blankets are delivered to Branches Pregnancy Centers and other organizations. If you’d like to help make blankets or want info email Jessica Pyle. If you’d like to stop and pray over the blankets we have they are in the Family Room Care Team: Our Care Team meets with individuals following the service who are seeking prayer or wanting to take their next step with Jesus. If you’re good with people and have a heart to pray with and walk with people in that moment when God is stirring in their heart this might be a great ministry opportunity for you.
