This past week, University Church Children and Family Ministries hosted Vacation Bible Camp (VBC). More than 170 kids ages 3–12 participated in daily Bible studies, activities, and local field trips. Today, our worship service continues the feel of camp with many of the same kids leading on the platform.

 


 
 
 
 

We're less than a month away from the Global Leadership Summit and we still have room. Space is available for you, your team, and friends to join us! You'll be blessed and challenged by the great content, world-class speakers, and powerful stories. We stream the summit live, in our sanctuary, Thursday and Friday, August 11–12.

Full-time Walla Walla University faculty, students, and staff are entitled to special pricing of $89, even up until the day the summit begins!

WORSHIP NOTE

Please join me in thanking a large roster of musicians this Sabbath. Schuan Carpenter directs the band with whom he has worked all week to lead music at Vacation Bible Camp. We thank the many young musicians who have played with him this week and who make joyful music again today. Jaci Cress sings "Doubting Thomas," a song by Chris Thile, as part of the sermon. Finally, we thank Lindsay Armstrong, a freshly graduated voice major, who sings prelude and anthem. Lindsay, an accomplished conductor as well as a vocalist, will lead the WWU choirs for part of next school year while the regular director is on sabbatical.

As you prepare to worship God I invite you to meditate silently on these words from the pen of Ellen G. White:

When Christ dwells in the heart, the soul will be so filled with His love, with the joy of communion with Him, that it will cleave to Him; and in the contemplation of Him, self will be forgotten.
-Steps to Christ, page 45

-Kraig Scott

 
 
 

 

Thank you for your generosity to the local ministry of the University Church, as well as to the global mission of the Adventist Church. Today, the loose offering goes toward the University Church budget. Aside from pastors' salaries, which are funded by donations marked "tithe," the University Church budget funds all local ministries including Youth and Children, WWVA and Rogers subsidies, broadcast, worship, and the upkeep of our facility.

The following graphic illustrates giving this year, relative to our budget as well as to giving at this time last year.
