New Series on Elijah begins Sept. 12
Thursday, August 26, 2010 | Garrick Conner
No one can deny that Elijah was one of the greatest prophets of the Old Testament. When he spoke, the people listened. His words had impact. Boldness and courage were in the fiber of this man as he was confronted with opposition fom King Ahab and Queen Jezebel. This prophet appeared suddenly and then almost as strangely disappeared into the sky. His life and ministry made an unforgettable mark on the people and culture of his day.
Can the life and times of this prophet speak to us today? Even though he lived long ago there is so much we can take away from Elijah's life that will leave us the better. As we inspect the life and times of this ancient prophet, be ready to learn lessons about godliness, courage, prayer, and even something about God's refuge when you hurt.

VBS & Music Camp filled with laughter and learning
Monday, August 2, 2010 | Garrick Conner
Park Hill held Vacation Bible School the week of July 26-30. This year for the first time, VBS was followed by Music Camp in the afternoons.
There were 293 children enrolled in VBS, with an average daily attendance of 245 kids and nearly 100 workers. The children spent the week learning that when they have questions, they can go to God for answers. The western-inspired theme of Saddle Ridge Ranch was a fun one that provided for some creative decorations.
More than 130 children participated in Music Camp. The Saddle Ridge Ranch musical was presented on Sunday, August 1. A number of spiritual decisions were made as a result of this incredible week of outreach and ministry.
The children participated in a friendly competition to raise money for the Arkansas Baptist Boys Ranch in Harrison. Through their efforts the children gave more than $1600 to this worthy cause.
Plans are already in the making for next year's VBS, which will be themed around the Big Apple -- New York City!
