VBS 2026 at Edgewood Church… A Picture of FaithSince Easter, we have been working our way through the book of Hebrews. Following the conclusion of VBS, we have now arrived at chapter 11, and it couldn't be better timing. As I prepare my sermon this week and read about the biblical characters in the "Hall of Faith," I can't help but think about what God has been doing at Edgewood over the last two ...

As I have mentioned before, we are in the midst of a study based on the call to “Finish Well.” This has led me to a book written by J. I. Packer, Finishing Our Course With Joy. It is a great book no matter your age but for we seniors it is especially important. In this book Packer calls us to be intentional in serving God throughout our lives.
