God’s Inner Rest
Here is a reminder from our bookkeeper, Peggy Steele on God’s blessing of inner peace and rest. Yesterday’s devotional message came at a perfect time as my heart was heavy with concerns. God used it to remind me that He is Sovereign and I can trust Him. “One of the great blessings of God that comes to you is inner rest. As the dew only settles when the night winds are still, so His refreshment comes as our spirits are quiet before Him---free of strife, worry, anxiety, or fear.

Your Sponsorship is Worth the Sacrifice
Here is note from a CBM Camp counselor who worked this summer at Children’s Bible Ministries of Virginia.
“I know that the camper’s letters are treasured by you, but I hope you don’t mind also hearing from a counselor. We are so exceedingly thankful for your generous heart!

Here this week, many met their ...
