The Standing Rock mission team is gearing up for their annual trip to the reservation. Donna Overstreet, Lona Butcher, Kimberly Kelly and Linda Shrum are going from Goshen along with 8 other ladies. They will be having an all day VBS program (for adults and children) in the Bullhead village. They will be there from July 25 - August 2. They are asking for monetary donations to purchase food and VBS supplies. You can donate by putting cash, 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.

Thanks so much for your continued support of this ministry.

Your help is needed as we reach out to our community for National Night Out on Tuesday, August 5, at the Spotsylvania Towne Centre. The event begins at 5:00 pm and ends at 8:00 pm. You can help for the whole time or just part of the time. Whatever time you have to give is appreciated. We will be offering free sand art for kids and teens, passing out small New Testament Bibles, and providing information about our church. Help is needed with the sand art, passing out the Bibles and church information, and interacting with kids and families in ways that lead to gospel conversations. You can sign up on the bulletin board or in the church app

Please join us on August 10th at 9:30am during the Sunday School hour to recognize our students and acknowledge a year’s worth of progress. This will also mark the moving up to a different grade and possibly a different class. We want to recognize all the hard work put in by the children every Sunday morning. Join us for a small breakfast as we say a few words about each child and pass out certificates. We love what the Lord is doing in the lives of these children here at Goshen!

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.

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.
