Can you believe the start of VBS is just a week from Monday? Pray for our teachers, leaders, volunteers, parents, and students, this week focused on Psalm 23 and the peace that comes from having Jesus as your shepherd. Pastoral Intern Morgan Loughlean prepped our hearts well a few weeks ago when he preached on John 10. If you missed it or want to be blessed again, you can listen or watch here: https://www.newlifelamesa.org/podcasts/media/2026-06-21-the-good-shepherd.

As we begin to set up for VBS, any able-bodied men who can help move the pulpit and communion table after PM worship tomorrow are welcome to stick around and help! During the week, if you have some time to give between 9a-7p, come help decorate! With the “Emerald Crossing” theme, focused on Ireland, there will be lots of green! 

Green is also one of the colors of North Dakota State University! In PM Worship, we will have Rev. Seth Adams, RUF (Reformed University Fellowship) Minister at NDSU preaching to us! You can find out more about him, his family, and his ministry here: https://ruf.org/ministry/north-dakota-state-university/

In AM Worship, we carry on in Acts as we examine the debacle that flows out of Jerusalem in the Jews’ attempt to get Paul. We will seek to learn their lesson in “The Anatomy of a Cancer in the Body of Christ.” 

I can’t wait to see you and worship with you!

Love & blessings,

Pastor Joel
