Welcome to “The Good Life Digest“ where you can find ways to serve our Lord, the church and community!

The Pastor’s Desk

Join us on Thursdays for our Noon Brown Bag Bible Study!  We meet in the adult Sunday School room.  We’re going to be using the Kerygma Bible study program.  “Discovering the Bible” that covers 15 lessons for the Old Testament, and 15 lessons for the New Testament.  This is a wonderful, comprehensive, yet easily understood Biblical exploration.  The church is buying 10 Bible studies, if you would like to defray the cost of them, the cost is $44.00.  Please let me know if you are interested and willing to attend.

- Rev. Greg Kupar

Our annual Vacation Bible School is approaching. The theme for this year is “On the Road with Jesus“. We will meet from 6:00 PM - 8:00 PM on July 6- July 8, 2026. We will begin each evening with supper and then have fun exploring “road trips“ with Jesus in the scriptures, singing, playing games, and doing crafts. Please contact the director, Tammy Bruce , at 859-298-4374 for more information and register at - https://cynpreschurch.mycokesburyvbs.com -. We can’t wait to see you in July!!

I am asking for help from the congregation for VBS this year. One of our Bible stories we will be discussing is how Abraham and Sarah obeyed God and traveled where he instructed. For the game portion of that evening we will be “packing our suitcases“ for our trip. I am in need of articles of clothing to have a suitcase packing relay. Also, I need pairs of socks for another relay. I will have a box marked on the table outside the church office for the collection of the clothing and socks. I truly appreciate the support and ask that everyone be in prayer for God to move in mighty ways in everyone’s life that attends. - Tammy Bruce
