It is the time of year when our youth spread their wings and go help others
in and around the area through mission work. Here is a little information
on BIG HOUSE

BIG HOUSE is an acronym which stands for Believing in God, Helping Others
Understand through Service Everywhere. Our mission is “To prepare youth and
adults to be the hands and feet of Jesus Christ, by providing opportunity to be in
mission to churches in need everywhere.”
We want to give opportunity for youth to come together and grow in their Christian
experience, through all aspects of our mission trip, whether it be on the work site,
or in fellowship with one another. Camps include participants who have
completed the 6th through the 8th grade from all over Texas. These youth come
together with the help of adults to work on churches and homes of those who are
in need, and are unable to do the work themselves.
At BIG HOUSE, the students and adults come together on Thursday, meet their
teams and begin planning work on their selected site. It could be a home they are
painting, or a church they are cleaning and repairing, or perhaps it’s working in a
church food pantry. The work sites are varied and endless. In the evenings
everyone will relax after a wonderful dinner at the evening activities. You might be
swimming or playing messy games regardless, there is fun to be had by everyone.
The camp wraps on Sunday morning with worship at the host church.
BIG HOUSE is a very busy and spiritually fulfilling 4 days for these junior high
students.

Join us Monday mornings starting June 17 through July 29
from 10 a.m. to 11:30 a.m. for our study by Lisa Harper,
“Job: A Story of Unlikely Joy”. Books are $13.
“Joy is the constant companion of the woman who trusts in the Lord. And
while you can find it in friends, family, and circumstances, unfailing,
persistent joy will only ever overflow from your relationship with Jesus.
Just ask Job, the man from Uz who clung to God’s goodness while all his
worldly joys were stripped away.
But how is it possible to hold onto such joy in times of sorrow?
In this 7-session study, discover the redemptive facet of Job’s suffering.
Learn to view pain as a way to strengthen your faith, point others to the
gospel, and trust in the Lord. Because His providence will never take you to
a place where His grace will not sustain you.”
