Skycrest will be sending our students to the Warren Willis Camp this summer on week 1, which is June 15-20, 2026. Those interested in sending your student(s), rising 4th grade through graduating seniors, need to head over to https://wwumccc.org/cost/, and follow the link that says "Register." Tuition scholarships are available (they call "camperships"). Campership applications received after April 1 will be considered if funds are available. If you would like to go but are still unable to produce funding, let me know, and we’ll make sure that your child can attend. This is such a special experience in the lives of our students, and I hope yours will be able to join us! Please let me know if you have any questions.
Current Sermon Series “Where the Rubber Meets the Road.”
Easter is a season celebrating new life, hope and possibility. And…life continues on and with it the things that plagued us previously. As discouraging as that may be, the resurrection has never been presented as the elimination of struggle, but as the irreversible foundation that makes endurance, transformation, and hope coherent in the middle of it. This series taps into the prayers of a resurrection people living the real world. Weekly topics address; Pain and Suffering, Sin that Separates, Doubt and Uncertainty, Relationships and Community Conflict, and Vocation and Meaning.
Please check the Calendar (under the Resources tab) for all upcoming events. Contact the office if you have questions or would like additional information. office@skycrest.net or (727) 446-2218.
Scripture
“
6 Well then, should we keep on sinning so that God can show us more and more of his wonderful grace? 2 Of course not! Since we have died to sin, how can we continue to live in it? 3 Or have you forgotten that when we were joined with Christ Jesus in baptism, we joined him in his death? 4 For we died and were buried with Christ by baptism. And just as Christ was raised from the dead by the glorious power of the Father, now we also may live new lives.
5 Since we have been united with him in his death, we will also be raised to life as he was. 6 We know that our old sinful selves were crucified with Christ so that sin might lose its power in our lives. We are no longer slaves to sin. 7 For when we died with Christ we were set free from the power of sin. 8 And since we died with Christ, we know we will also live with him. 9 We are sure of this because Christ was raised from the dead, and he will never die again. Death no longer has any power over him. 10 When he died, he died once to break the power of sin. But now that he lives, he lives for the glory of God. 11 So you also should consider yourselves to be dead to the power of sin and alive to God through Christ Jesus.”
