MOVIE NIGHT AT THE FOLSOM’S Friday, August 2, 7:30pm. We will enjoy potluck desserts at sunset overlooking Orange County, followed by a wonderful movie “Indivisible” PG-13. It is the story of a Chaplain in a desert war dealing with PTSD and family issues. It is exciting with a lot of action and has a great Christian message. We will be viewing this on three giant screens – 200, 110 and 70 inch screens with surround sound. Of course we will have popcorn during the movie! The big screen is behind an indoor pool. Children may watch the movie from the pool.
Please bring: Dessert to share, light jacket in case it is cool in the evening, swimsuit and towel if you plan to watch the movie from the warm pool. We will provide water, coffee and popcorn.

Verse of the Week:
Be still and know that I am God.
— Psalm 46:10 |
|
The story is told of a British politician who took his 8-year-old daughter on a tour of London. They came to Westminster Abbey and the awesomeness of it struck the little girl. As she gazed at the towering columns and stirring beauty of the Gothic features, her father was intrigued at her concentration.
He looked down at her and asked, “Sweetheart, what are you thinking about?” The little girl replied, “Daddy, I was thinking how big you seem at home and how small you look in here.”
How easily we lose our sense of wonder before God. With age comes experience and wisdom, but if you’re not careful, it can also dull your sense of who God truly is. And when you can’t see God for who He is, your entire vision is skewed.
Remember God’s awesomeness each day – because it’s in that childlike sense of wonder and submission that God raises you up to the full strength of who He created you to be, and what He’s called you to do. |
|
Prayer Challenge
Ask God to restore your sense of wonder at His awesomeness. Pray that He’ll strengthen you as you stand in awe of His presence.
Questions for Thought
What are some places or things that remind you of who God truly is and fill you with wonder?
How could a sense of God’s awesomeness strengthen you in your faith? |

My comforter
Sunday after church, a Mom asked her very young daughter what the lesson was about. The daughter answered, "Don't be scared, you'll get your quilt." Needless to say, the Mom was perplexed. Later in the day, the pastor stopped by for tea and the Mom asked him what that morning's Sunday school lesson was about. He said "Be not afraid, thy comforter is coming
