SOUTH AFRICA
TRIP, GOING IN AUGUST!! |

PRAYER GUIDE FOR SO. AFRICA TRIP
Ms Reynolds prepared a devotional booklet for
our mission team going to So. Africa in August.
Each day’s devotion speaks of the place
where the team will visit that day. Copies are
available on the table by the Clark St. entrance.
Church members may read along with the team and
pray for them while they are gone.
OUR SUITCASES OVERFLOW!!!
We packed our suitcases on Saturday and were overwhelmed
by your generosity. We loaded pencils, pens, calculators,
bandages, peroxide, markers, shampoo, toothbrushes
and toothpaste, school books, notepads, and crayons.
You have all truly become partners with us on
this mission trip. Please use our daily devotional
and pray with us as we move through our journey.
We will send emails back when we can which you
should be able to see on our website. We are blessed
to have such a generous church family and we all
look forward to sharing our faith with our brothers
and sisters in South Africa. Thank you all.
Going on the trip are Linda Woodbury, Jenny and
Abbey Ogden, Jim and Marsha and Kerry Watson,
Lisa and Michael Cinotti, Jim and Patrick O’Grady,
Felicia and Christina Dolan, Laura Zelenka and
Mary Anne Miller. We depart from J.F.K on Thursday,
July 31st at 5:20pm for a 15 hour flight to Johannesburg!

COMMUNION SERIES
Come Stay With Us |

Each Sunday in July,
Mr. Stinson preaches on the Lord’s Supper
and also serves communion at the 9:30 service.
The theme for his series, “Come Stay with
Us,” is Luke 24:29, from the story of the
two on the road to Emmaus. Copies of the sermons
will be available on the table by the Clark St.
entrance and on the website after each sermon.
Join us for communion this month! |

WINDOWS MISSING |

| Operation Mustard Seed
has begun working on the Stained Glass Windows
Project in the sanctuary. The first window, “The
Meeker Window”, has disappeared and half
of the “Tiffany Window” is also MIA.
The prompt payment of your pledge to the Operation
Mustard Seed campaign will allow us to continue
working throughout the summer on this and other
needed repairs. Thanks for your summer participation.
Enjoy your vacations!
