And they are off…to Cleveland School to deliver 3775 books and 1034 stuffed animals to encourage summer reading and literacy. This collection of books is a tribute to kindergarten teacher Debbie Wright at South Mountain School in South Orange. She lives the spirit of CLB with her children every day.
“Start Children off on the way they should go, and even when they are old they will not turn from it.” Proverbs 22:6

STAR QUEST – A Search for the Lost Scriptures
SEE PICTURES BELOW
In a galaxy far away, and in a future not too distant, the crew of the spaceship Star Quest J-316 are on a mission: trekking through the galaxy, bringing the Word of God to people everywhere! In the future, all written communication is now sent and stored digitally – nothing is written on paper. The Bible is stored on the Intergalactic Bible Database, allowing all people access to God’ Word. But there is a radical plot underway by a misguided, power-hungry ruler who is steadily erasing scriptures from the database. The crew of J-316 has just landed on a planet whose inhabitants still employ the age-old practice of Bible memorization. With the Word of God hidden in their hearts, they offer to go back to the ship with the crew to help restore the lost scriptures. But will they be able to stop the plot to steal the scriptures away? Time is of the essence, and nothing in this world or beyond could be more important than making sure God’s Word remains available to all people throughout the galaxy!

Sunday May 5, 2019 WPC confirmed six young people into the life of our church.
Gracious God, by water and the Spirit, you claimed us as your own, cleansing us from sin, and giving us new life. You made us members of your body, the church, calling us to be your servants in the world. Renew in each member of the Confirmation Class, the covenant you made in their baptism. Continue the good work you have begun in them. Send them forth by the power of your Spirit to love and serve you with joy. Amen.
