Cause For Celebration

A local gas station in my hometown would begin selling fireworks about two weeks before July 4th. Each year, I would beg my parents to take me to the gas station so I could spend every bit of my allowance on sparklers, fountains, screamers, poppers, and various other assorted fireworks. Granted, none of these were big time firework displays that inspired OOH’s and AAH’s. These were smaller variations that my friends and I would light in the driveway, under the supervision of our parents, of course. Along with some other boys from the neighborhood, we’d plead until someone took us to the gas station to buy fireworks for July 4th. The problem was none of those fireworks would make it to the 4th. We’d always set them off as soon as we got home. Because of this ritual each summer, it felt like celebrating July 4th lasted all week.

In just a few more days, we’ll enjoy the celebration that entails cookouts, family gatherings, and, yes, firework displays. These will be much brighter, dazzling, and more expensive than my small displays as a kid. Although, what used to feel like a week’s worth of celebrating is now over in a matter of hours. I still look forward to celebrating, but it feels like the routine of life returns much quicker now than it was when I was a kid lighting fireworks in my parents’ driveway.

In the life of church, we can get into our own routines. Events might come along to spark some energy into our lives, but once they’re over …then what? What do we do once the celebration ends?

Summertime is usually very busy for a church. This month, we’ve got VBS, the Youth Mission Trip, and various other gatherings that exhilarate our lives at Knightdale Baptist. I truly hope you join me in anticipation of the

great, exciting time these events are sure to bring. As the kids and adults pack the halls for VBS, the vivacity of those children enlivens our church. As the youth anticipate their mission trip, we look forward to watching their efforts unfold and hearing those stories of rich blessings upon their return. These are events that provide moments of celebration throughout the month.

My hope is that we will all find joy and reasons for celebrating God’s presence in our lives, a presence that gives us cause to rejoice even when the fireworks have gone out and the events come to a close. Events like VBS and mission trips are great reminders that God’s Spirit is at work doing wonderful things. Things that cause us to celebrate, not just for a day, a week, or even a month, but remind us that we can have that joy all the time. They’ll rekindle that spark that might wane during the in-between time and remind us of the joy we feel from being in the presence of our Lord who is there in the lively, festive events and the small, driveway displays that carry out around them.

That is cause for celebration.

Worship and Mission Opportunities

Wednesday Night Bible Study

Rev. Sessoms will be offering a new Bible Study beginning Wednesday, July 25th at 6:30 pm - Job: Into the Fire, Out of the Ashes by

Tony Cartledge (a Smyth & Helwys publication). How many times have you faced tragedy in life? How often have you asked the question, “Why?” Have you ever been angry or disappointed with God? Do you wonder if it is okay to

express disappointment, complaints, or frustration to God? Have you wondered if God is listening or watching you during times of distress? Have you cried to God only to sense silence in return? All of these and more are part of what we might call “The Job Experience.”

Women’s Summer Bible Study

What Happens When Women Pray All women are encouraged to meet with us starting Friday, July 20th at 10:00 am in the Parlor. We are going to be studying what

the Bible teaches about prayer. The book will cost around $3.54 depending on how many we order but must be ordered soon. Please let Cathy Maynard know by July 9th. She can be reached at either 919-

266-1868 (leave a message) or [email protected]. There are also forms in the Sunday School classes. Come and grow with us. Invite a friend!

July 29th is Food Pantry Sunday, so don’t forget your food pantry donations! Supporting our local Food Pantry is an on-going mission project of the Angelic Ministers.
