Fortieth Anniversary @ El Vista!
Next Sunday, August 7, we will celebrate the 40th Anniversary of the Lancasters on the staff of El Vista Baptist Church. They have been involved in the music, youth, soul winning, and Christian education ministries of our church. We are raising money for a Holy Land trip in the fall and you are welcome to give to this purpose if you wish. There will be a special lunch prepared by the Spanish ministry after the morning service and desserts prepared by all.

Youth & Teen Group
The El Vista Teens have a full schedule of fun activities and spiritual training. Led by Pastor Phil & Randi Lancaster, the Teen Group meets in Sunday School at 9:30 AM, then has Teen Soul Winning at 4:30 PM. Wednesday night and Power Hour & prayer time start at 7:00 PM.
We appreciate the time our workers give to the young people -- teaching, visiting, planning, and hosting a number of activities every year. Our desire is to see the young people come to know the Lord Jesus as Savior; to walk with Him in daily life at home, school, and neighborhood; and to yield their lives to Him in following His will. Pray for our teens, their parents, and our outreach to them.
El Vista Baptist Church has been improving the Children's Church Ministry over the past few years. Now consisting of three groups during our morning service, our skillful workers love the children, and on an age-sensitive basis teach the Word of God. Many have been won to Christ and lessons for Christian living have been taught.
