The evening of Sunday, June the 1st, we celebrated the end of our 3rd year of Truth Trackers, our Wednesday night discipleship program for children Pre-K thru 6th grade.
It was a joy to watch and listen as the kids recited the numerous Bible verses they had committed to memory over the past year. When all was said and done, I'm sure I was not the only one of 18+ years that was put to shame. What a blessing to see the faith of parents being passed on and hidden in the hearts of the young.
Many of our kids memorized all of their verses and did all of their devotions for the entire year. A majority of those who did not were simply not here the whole year. Great effort by the kids, but even more so on the part of the parents. "Train up a child in the way he should go..."
Lastly, special congrats to Jeremiah Stevens. This was his last year in Truth Trackers. He was one of the students who memorized every verse and did all of his devotions. In addition, he also memorized each week's bonus verse. He won the "Truth Tracker of the Year Award" here at Messiah Baptist Church. Keep up the effort in Youth Group, buddy!
How good it's been to watch this program grow in our body. Praise God for his blessings in this regard, and pray for the continued growth of the program abroad for the purpose of training up little saints and the spreading of the gospel.

Summer Sunday School Series....
....say that five times fast.
A week ago our adult Sunday School class started a new series led by Pastor Counterman. The series is focusing on Men and Women, including their roles in the family, church, and workplace, and how they are to act as members of their gender.
This is a highly relevant matter for Christians today. As our culture seeks to blend the differences of men and women together, we need to go back to the Bible and see what it says. That's what this class is about.
Pastor Counterman will continue to show us how we were created to function, while alerting us to the corruptions of our culture and how we can protect ourselves, our families, and our church from them. True to the gospel and certainly not politically correct, the men of our church seek to teach the Word of God only. This class is no different.
So come on out and join us for Sunday School if you're not already a regular attendee. Good stuff from God's Word.
