My cousin Julie (a third grader) and Aunt Tracey were offered an opportunity to travel and teach in China for 8 weeks. Julie was adopted from China and Aunt Tracey is a teacher in South Bend,  Indiana and learned of this opportunity and they were in China within three weeks. Aunt Tracey is keeping us all updated on their adventures through a blog updated almost daily.  While reading it, I am a little bit jealous hearing about all their adventures, and the culture they are learning about, and the tasks they have been given while there.  

Adventure Kids is taking place instead of VBS this Summer! We will still meet 4 days, but they will be spread out throughout the summer instead of one week in June. WE will worship, sing songs, play games, and go on outings. It is for 4 year olds to 5th graders (those just finishing), but children 6 and younger will need an adult with them the whole time.

Friends are always invited. Volunteers are needed! Please see Molly or Joy for more information.

Here is the Adventure Kids schedule:

Wednesday June 13 10:30-4:00

This is the land of which I swore to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, saying, “I will give it to your descendants.”   DEUTERONOMY 34:4

The reading I listed above (and I hope you'll read it!) is the last chapter of the book of Deuteronomy.  It also marks the end of the story of the Israelites’ journey from Egypt to the Promised Land.  Under Moses’ leadership, the Israelites have traveled through the desert, enduring hunger and thirst, on God’s timetable—the journey took forty years!
