Thank You Bob,
We want to thank Bob Lewis for delivering the sermon this past Sunday while Pastor Frank was on vacation. Bob shared with us the many examples in the Bible of God's love and forgiveness. He talked about the great example recently of forgiveness when the people of Charleston showed forgiveness towards the man who took the lives of the innocent people in their church. Although it may be very difficult at times to forgive, it is what God wants for us. Thank you again Bob.
Pastor Frank will be back leading the service this Sunday, July 26th.

Getting "plugged in" to your church is a great way to make new friends as you serve the Lord.

Buses-n-Backpacks Update
During the month of August we will be asking for food donations to help kick start the new school year for our Buses-n-Backpack program. Each Sunday we are asking for a different food item. A list will be in the bulletin and in Etalk each week during August.
August 2 - Canned meat & dry soup August 9 - pasta & spaghetti sauce
August 16 - Peanut butter & jelly August 23 - Fruit snacks & pudding
August 30 - “kid-friendly” cereal,
granola/cereal bars
Please remember: no glass jars or large size containers. (They don’t fit well in the backpacks)
We will be purchasing rolling backpacks this year for our children. The cost is $25-50 each. If you would like to make a donation toward these backpacks, please mark your check “BNB”.
Thank you for your continued support of this mission.
Ann Nade and Debbie Baker, your Buses-n-Backpack coordinators
