Who am I?
Who gives me strength?
How do I do life with Jesus?
What do I treasure in life?
These are questions we're going to ask and answer at Summer Quest next week. It's crazy to think that in just four short days we'll have eleven teams in place to meet the children who will be attending Summer Quest!
Around 150 volunteers from GCC and New Anthem Church have been working creatively to prepare for this major, all-in outreach event. The 300+ children we are anticipating this year will be met by warm, inviting volunteers who will strive to provide a fun, safe experience that will most importantly point kids to the gospel and build relationships with families in our neighborhoods.
This year our theme is Colossal Carnival: Meet God on the Midway. Here's a taste of what we'll be up to:
Our theme verse is Matthew 6:21, "For where your heart is, there your treasure is also."
On Monday - we'll explore the Hall of Mirrors and learn how we are created in God's image.
On Tuesday - we'll visit the Strong Man to understand that our strength and courage come from God.
On Wenesday - we'll ride the Tilt-a-Whirl to see that in order to navigate the twists and turns in life, we need to walk by faith and trust in Jesus.
On Thursday - we'll stroll the Midway to learn that the eternal life Jesus gives is our ultimate prize.
On Friday - we'll host a fun carnival here at the church, called Summer Fest, for those who have participated in Summer Quest over the week and their families. Along with food, fun and live music, Pastor Jack will share a gospel message and invite them to join us at Grace on Sundays.
Please join us in praying all week for God to be at work through our volunteers and in the hearts of the chlidren who come. We covet your prayers! In fact, we'll have prayer wristbands and cards with specific prayer requests available on tables around the church facility this coming Sunday. Please stop by and pick them up.
We appreciate your support!
