From Eden to Egypt by Alex Duke is a biblical theology of the book of Genesis. The back cover says that it is filled with humor and observation and application along the way. It's a book for normal people. It's a one-of-a-
kind tour that will help you on your worthwhile journey to understand your Bible and, more important, the God who inspired it.

At this meeting we will discuss:
Introduction & Chapters 1-9 of From Eden to Egypt

Standing Rock Mission team is gearing up for their annual trip to the reservation. Donna Overstreet, Lona Butcher, Kimberly Kelly, and Linda Shrum are traveling from Goshen, along with eight other ladies. They will have an all-day VBS program (for adults and children) in the Bullhead village. They will be there from July 25 - Aug. 2. They are asking for donations for food and VBS supplies. One can donate by putting cash, a check (made out to Goshen), or Walmart gift cards in an envelope marked for Standing Rock and then putting it in the offering plate. The last collection date is July 13.

Thank you, Goshen Family, for your continued prayers and generous support of the Friday Food Bag program. Since September 2019, each Thursday during the school year, we deliver a bag of easy-to-prepare food, snacks, and fresh fruit items to Spotsylvania Elementary School to be sent home with students on Fridays. Each week, the school is so grateful for this program and always expresses how appreciative they are and how excited the students are to receive their bags. During the 2024-2025 school year, we ended the year providing bags for 57 students. We delivered a total of 2,137 bags totaling 5,958 pounds of food!

Mark your calendar for Goshen’s Homecoming 2025 on Sunday, October 5! We will be highlighting our growing disaster relief ministry. Shawn Ames from SBC Virginia will be here to preach God’s Word and help us think about how compassion ministry allows us to minister the gospel in Jesus’ name.

Mark your calendar for February 20-21, 2026. We will be hosting Tate and Wendy Cockrell for a parenting conference. More details will be forthcoming. You won’t want to miss it!

Have a favorite song or a song we haven’t done in a while? Please feel free to share it with Travis or any member of the Worship team. Whether it’s a hymn, worship song, or just a special piece that speaks to your heart, we would LOVE to hear it. Let us know and we’ll do our best to include it in an upcoming service!

One of the groups we offer in the Goshen app is our Prayer Community. We encourage you to join this group and use this tool for your prayer requests. This is an easy and great way to get requests out immediately without having to go through the church office. If you have any questions about the app or how to join one of the groups, please contact the office.

The Children’s Ministry is urgently seeking volunteers to help with both Sunday school and Awana programs. These ministries are vital in providing a nurturing and supportive environment for children to grow in their faith, but they cannot thrive without the dedication and service of volunteers. If you would like to volunteer, please contact Melissa Czubowicz at 570-460-8707 or melczub@gmail.com.
