Declarations of Praise
This past week in Sunday School we learned that everything we have is a gift from God. When we give to God we only give back to God what is already His--what He has already shared with us. (1 Chronicles 29:10-16) It is humbling to think about. So often we do not remember to thank God for what He has given us and fewer times still do we remember to praise Him simply for who He is.
Here's what our kids had to say in their declarations of praise.
How about you?

Thanks to Charlie!
From Jill: We've been blessed to have Charlie working with us this summer. We were able to accomplish so much so quickly in terms of preparing for VBS and gearing up for the fall. Charlie has also easily and joyfully connected with kids and parents and we'll be sad to see him go. But we wish him all the best at High Point University this fall!
Here is what he says about his summer with us...
It has been such a great experience I am so thankful that I had this opportunity to serve in the community that I grew up in. If I had the choice I would definately do it again next year.
There were so many things that I loved about interning here at NPC. However, VBS and helping out with sunday school were my favorites. I loved working with the kids, interacting with them, and playing games. I also loved meeting new kids and forming personal relationships with not only them, but their families as well.
I learned that even though this was a job, it was always important to have fun. I learned how much work it takes setting up for VBS. I also learned how to be more orgonized and how to manage my time. The most important thing I learned was that no matter where ever I my journey takes me I will always have the love and support of my family, church, and friends.
On August 18th I will be heading of to High Point, NC. I don't know what I want to study but I'm sure over time it will come to me. Until that point comes I will be playing club frisby, taking part in inner varsity, and finding other ways where I can make a differense in the community. It has been a pleasure interning in children's ministries at NPC and I wish everyone in the church community the best.

This is a good project for kids to use on a rainy day or when there is nothing to do. Summer is a time for relaxation however, there is a difference between relaxation and boredom with this activity it keeps children entertained while giving them the opportunity to be creative as well. This also gives the kids a chance to see how something so small can be so strong and how we can relate this to God's strength and how he helps us overcome the biggest obstacles. In VBS we will be focusing on the stories of Daniel and how God gave him strength to overcome his challenges.
