Thank you! Thank you! To all the dear saints of Wesley Chapel United Methodist Church. It has been 5 wonderful years (can you believe 5 years!) of sharing ministry with you and we look forward to the beginning of our 6 th year and hopefully many more! May God continue to bless the people of Wesley Chapel UMC! And thank you for the prayers and support for James and his surgery. Thankfully the operation went well and we give praise and glory to God for the news following his procedure. Please also keep Andrew in your prayers on June 16 th. He will undergo knee surgery to repair a dislocating knee cap. You know, prayer can help us through all things, if we give it a try. It has helped me! And prayer is very important in our relationship with God. It s a special time we have with Him. It s an opportunity to share your heart and your burdens. It can also be a time to listen. Don t cheat yourself out of that special time with God! I hope you spend time every day in prayer. It is important to our spiritual growth! May God continue to bless the congregation of Wesley Chapel UMC as we grow together in Christ and strive to be faithful disciples! Seek new ways and opportunities to grow in study and to reach out in service as we work to realize the Kingdom of God on Earth! Thank you again, saints, for all that you do for the sake of Christ and His kingdom! Faithfully yours, Jimmy

Boxes will be picked up by students on the first day of VBS and returned by the end of the week. This is just a sample of what these boxes mean to the children who receive them: Madagascar 2014: A shoebox recipient shared, I live with my mother and foster father, who doesn t make my life easy. One OCC volunteer was aware of my situation and invited me to attend a distribution event. For the first time in my life, I actually realized that I am loved when I received my gift box. I found sandals, which I had wanted for years, in the box. Afterwards, I participated in The Greatest Journey (TGJ) and gave my life to Jesus. I enjoy reading the Bible and preach about Jesus in public. Please pray with me that my foster father will receive Jesus as his Savior as well. THE GREAT SLIME PROJECT 100 filled boxes returned by Friday night s celebration and Ms. DeDe & Ms. Marcie get slimed!
