Sardis Baptist Church will be conducting Lifeway's Game Day Central: Where Heroes Are Made for Vacation Bible School this year, June 10-15, from 7 to 9 p.m. Children from birth to sixth grade are invited to come join the fun and excitement. There will be play-by-play Bible stories, games and fun snacks from the concession stand. There will be crafts that make special souvenirs, songs, and much more. Stops will be made at music pep rally, the recreation field house, concession stand, missions press box, and the crafts fan zone. We will learn about Bible people who were ordinary people willing to follow God's plan for their lives. They overcame weaknesses and fear to accomplish God's purposes. Everything is free.

J.W. and I travel to Athens Monday through Friday and so far I am doing good. But I have a way to go yet. I am having some side effects. I notice something different every day. I can handle it with the grace of God. .Lately I notice that I am seeing people that I hardly ever see and I think God is sending them my way to help me through this.
