PASTOR’S PERSPECTIVE YTH CAMP 54 STUDENTS 6 LEADERS ALL ENCOUNTERED THE PRESENCE OF GOD! JULY 2022 NEWS 2 SpiritCHURCH | MARCH 2022 NEWS
I am incredibly thankful to be a part of a church that LOVES the Next Generation. SpiritCHURCH believes, encourages, and equips the Next Generation to use their God given talents and abilities to bring Him glory. The month of June was a big month for our kids and students. We hosted VBS (Vacation Bible School) Super Camp for all of SpiritKIDS and it was a massive success. Kids got to participate in football, basketball, soccer, volleyball, science,
encounter the presence of Jesus we never leave the same, and I am so excited for all of our students and can’t wait to see all that God does through each of them. If your kids aren’t plugged in to our Next Generation ministries, they are missing out! I encourage you to give them a shot. Our pastors and leaders work hard every week to make sure your kids and students are encountering Jesus, diving into the Word, building relationships, and having a blast while doing it. Our sixth core value says “Our children and youth will take the love of God to places and times
we are not allowed to go.” Thank you for prioritizing and giving your BEST to the Next Generation here at SpiritCHURCH. Samantha & I are praying for you! - Pastor Spencer Smythe

and art! They even got to meet some of their favorite super heroes. We had 115 kids and 52 volunteers in attendance, and we are praising God for 12 kids that said YES to Jesus! If you served at this event, THANK YOU! It wouldn’t have been possible without your help. 54 SpiritYOUTH had an amazing week at Camp Cargill in June. We are already hearing testimonies of the intimate moments in worship, presence of the Holy Spirit, and strengthened bonds and friendships.

Agape Mission is an incredible ministry here in Bartlesville that was started by Sherri and Mike Smith, who are members of SpiritCHURCH. Agape serves hot meals daily in their own permanent location on the west side of Bartlesville. Any person in our community that is in need can come by Agape any day of the week and receive a free meal prepared and served completely by amazing volunteers from all over Bartlesville. I have had the pleasure of serving at Agape in the food serving line, and I think every person should be able to experience this. There are many different needs throughout Agape and many different opportunities to serve people and to share the love, joy, and peace of Jesus. The third Thursday of every month is SpiritCHURCH’s day to serve at Agape Mission. As a ministry that is so intertwined with our church, it is a privilege to serve as a family in this awesome place. I would love for you to join me on our next SpiritCHURCH day at Agape! Email me at grant@spiritchurch.com for more information. - Pastor Grant Browning | Church Ministries
