Butler Christ Community
Greetings friends. This hot spell makes me think what Hades may feel like! It will last a lifetime though, not just a summer interlude. I don’t want to go there, do you?
Pastor Ron spoke to us from Matthew 10 about the cost of discipleship. It won’t be an easy ride, you will publicly acknowledge Jesus, put Jesus first in your life, take up your cross and follow Him, help others before yourself and give without being repaid. It’s not easy, but for life in eternity is worth it.
Shane sang “Jealous of the Angels.” Thank you for sharing.
The next men’s prayer breakfast will be July 11. Then on July 12 we will have our Scholarship recognition and dinner in their honor.
VBS will begin July 20 and continue through July 23, “Under Construction,” is the theme.
We are thankful to God for our many praises and petition God to answer our prayers. We hope you will join us in our prayers.
When you are outside sweating this week, think how much worse it is in Hades.
Have a blessed week!

Trinity Southern Baptist
Trinity Southern Baptist Church was blessed to celebrate an incredible Biker Sunday as riders and community members gathered for worship, fellowship, and a powerful message from Pastor Abram Crozier titled “Dear Atheist,” from John 1:43–51. The service encouraged those with honest questions about faith to take a closer look at Jesus and discover that He is greater than our assumptions. We are grateful for everyone who joined us and helped make the day such a success.
The celebration continues this Saturday, July 4, as Trinity hosts a free community Independence Day celebration. The evening will feature a car show, inflatables, a petting zoo, a Northern Kentucky Gaming Truck, Kona Ice, Mimi’s Kitchen, lemonade and dirty sodas, with free pulled pork provided by Lenoxburg Catering while supplies last. The night will conclude with a spectacular fireworks display. Everyone is invited to bring their family, enjoy the festivities, and celebrate our community together starting at 6 p.m.

Turner Ridge Baptist
During our prayer time today, we prayed for so many areas facing flooding, earthquakes and fires.
The children’s message, “Freedom Isn’t Free,” from Hebrews 9:15, that supports the fact that we are free from sin. That verse lets us know that we can have freedom from sin if we accept Jesus as our personal Savior. He died on the cross to free us from our sins.
Perry Gregg read Matthew 22:36-40 followed by the Praise team, singing “Heal Our Land.”
Bro. Dale’s message “Hope For America,” came from Deuteronomy 6:4-9. It was an amazing message, Through the scriptures we are led to love God with all our heart, we must Admit, Believe, and confess our sins.
Sunday evening our service was held on the grounds, we had the Cedar Valley Bluegrass Band with us for our 250th Anniversary celebration of the signing of the Declaration of Independence. We had hamburgers, hot dogs and sides. The desserts, and the homemade ice cream were wonderful! To close the evening, we buried our time capsule to be opened in 50 years.
God is good all the time!
